    New Line up of AV Receivers from JBL

    Oh, right. I was looking at their $8K SDR-35 AVR, which is class-G, and I assumed their 9100-AVR was also class-G. So their class D and G must be very small and light.

    RBH Sound's Unrivaled Alpha amp

    Hello. I recently saw on RBH Sound's website that they offer a customizable, 2-16 channel, Class D amp. I knew they made respectable speakers and subs, but was not aware of these amps. Multi-channel, Class D, built to your specifications? Could be interesting. What are your thoughts? Anyone...

    I have five class D two channel amps and at least one sub plate amp. I can't tell any particular difference with my class AB or G amps. Don't know what you expect in terms of dynamic range or "clarity" whatever that is.

    Parasound A21+ power amp for my front L/R speakers -- overkill? Other options?

    ...amps from Europe, I wonder if they offer a trial period and return policy if I don't like them or any issues or problems arise. Regarding class D amps, I have a buddy in Denver who is recommending Starkrimson Mono's but the output is 150 watts. They offer a 500 watt amp, but it costs...

    I agree Parasound is done.

    Should I get used receiver or used integrated amp (budget of $200)?

    Very few watts. Even 10 would blow your ears off with any regular speakers. "84 dB" if that's even accurate...still quite loud with 10 watts. What do you mean by "everything"? What inputs/features do you need that a small class D does not do?

    You mean amp class (A, AB, D, etc) ? Or specifics within an amp class?

    I left Anthem MCA AB amps and went to Class D 5 years ago. I now have smaller, lighter amps that run cool and that have SOTA bench measurements. So why would anyone use AB other than nostalgia? Check out ASR’s comparative bench measurements of his top reviewed amps. They are Class D with a...

    Denon X3800 shuts down

    ...save some money and real estate by going with a Fosi V3 monoblock that measured much better than the Outlaw Monoblock. It is high time people move on, forget about class AB amps and embrace class D amps, for space, heat, environmental reasons if not for the typically lower distortion and...

    Focal Goes Active with $40k DIVA UTOPIA Wireless Speakers!

    Definitely fully active crossovers with BW limiting for each driver which is directly coupled to its respective amplifier.

    Wouldn't that more depend on particular execution? Class D can fail, too.

    Focal Goes Active with $40k DIVA UTOPIA Wireless Speakers!

    Has to be an active crossover seeing as how each driver gets its own amp. Class AB can be very good. I am sure there is a reason why Focal/Naim went with class AB over class D in a no-expenses-spared loudspeaker.

    Topping B100 Monoblock Amp

    At one watt it won't be pretty unless it uses Peter Walker's current dumping topology, which uses a small class A amp in a feed forward mode to correct the dumpers. I doubt it does as they would be too stupid to figure it out. That amp is junk. Avoid.

    For your spec. then you are pretty much going to have to go with class D switching amps. You are not realistically going to get the power you require without going class D to get the efficiency. The Mac can manage it because of their use of auto transformers. They are essentially using tapped...

    Parasound A21+ power amp for my front L/R speakers -- overkill? Other options?

    Thanks much for the information! Nothing to do with the quality of their products, but I checked out the Apollon site and they wax more eloquent and use more "audiophile" descriptions of their amps' sound quality than many other manufacturers! What's the difference between Hypex and Purifi...

    Review of Buckeye amps by the Audioholics experts?

    As PENG‘s excellent string illustrates it makes sense to buy Class D instead of Class AB. Buckeye is here in America and is, or tries to be, the most economical. His cases are a little too budget oriented for my liking but the internal modules are pretty well standardized. His amps get...

    Wow. Lots of Class D stuff. Do all of you guys use Class D? I've read reviews from "Pro" reviewers but I always have that thought in the back of my mind "Is this guy getting paid by the company to review this?" I'd be really interested to hear from people who actually use it on a regular basis...

    That seems like a 5th grade explanation after 'the class' but technically, it's true. They could have mentioned XX and XY chromosomes, but I'm not sure enough of the population would have understood.

    ...do have to say this thread has gotten me think otherwise, and that I need to do some homework so I have a better overall understanding of how class D works (like what are the “modules” that were referred to, the differences in power supplies, and that kind of thing) before I make a decision...
