    Perlisten r7t vs paradigm persona 7 or 9

    I run my AVM70 with ATI Class D and Parasound, I can't tell the difference sonically and the ATI is dead quiet and does not get very hot. Doesn't matter which you use.

    You have an excellent amp now....why would you change for another?

    We review the $9,600 Legacy Audio Focus SE Speakers

    ...the analog, and the analog needs to be split into two boxes, one for high level and one for low level...and I am not sure what to say about class D designs that mix both analog and digital to bring us clean analog sound? I am highly suspect there, but will probably buy class D eventually due...

    Parent Company of Paradigm and MartinLogan Buys GoldenEar From Audioquest

    Less speaker cables but possibly more AC power cords hanging around if you don't have outlets close to each powered speaker.

    AudioControl Concert XR-6S (8K 9.1.6 Immersive AV Receiver with Zone 2 and Class AB Amplification).

    Just note that you typically only listen with a couple of watts the majority of the time, except reference levels and most don't listen that loud. If you're using the system for parties in a large space, then you might worry about over driving the speakers

    Definitive Technology BP-8020st Floor Standing Towers, with internal powered subwoofer

    ...try to bypass the internal amp. Make up or purchase a crossover network, bypassing this internal power amp nonsense. I can get an affordable class D amp to run each speaker, and call it a day. (I bet someone has tried this) My reasons for trying option 2, is because how do I know their...

    Power amp manufacturers 2024

    Buckeye has a few class D 8 channel amps that are in your ballpark or well over per channel. Outlaw's 7 channel unit falls short but the monoblocks as mentioned would work. Monoprice's 7 channel: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=14566 There's also stuff like this...

    Adding an external power amplifier

    I took a look at those QSC amps, Gobs of power! Just a note, was just poking fun at Class D Amp power supply. They've come a long way Class D amps. Your absolutely correct, can't kill them Class D amps. A friend of mine uses Crown amps with his professional D J setup. They sit in his U haul like...

    Amp protection lights on

    Thanks for all the comments. I spent some time reading and watching Gene's reviews and articles here on the improvements of Class D amps. Pretty cool that the tech has advanced. I'll think it through. My budget is in the $1,000 range for 2 channels. Maybe I can find a unit that incorporates...

    Delete thread moderator or lock it. Point.

    I mentioned common ground speaker outoput and that was good for a blistering 3-4W/channel, not more. Once they started using a stereo output chip for each channel, the output rose to about 14W but this was well before ClassD. In a ClassAB amp using a 12VDC power supply, the power output was very...

    Equipment to run Polk L800s

    Once a company has proven to have poor quality control & poor customer service I avoid them. Cost savings on cheaper products is not an audible quality. Math from measurements can be used to help limit your choices. Also reading “owners forums” of those products can quickly identify a...

    Receiver Power Consumption vs Output Power

    ...there is some sort of thermal protection built in which limits the output power. And again, for the JBL MA710, the formula looks like this: Class D: 0.125*110 = 13.75 watts / .80 (eff) = 17.19 watts x 7 = 120.32 watts So why did JBL mark the this as a 500 MAX watt device? Does this number...

    Adding an external power amplifier

    You have some Serious wattage there! How'd you Integrated those into your system? I mean 1/4 jacks, what did you use or ran for speaker cables? I went back and took a longer look at those amps. Yeah I only saw two of those and they were in a theater. Brother of mine worked as a projectionist.

    Monoblock amplifiers

    ...type/tricks all of my neutral speakers and good recordings actually are. They essentially have the capability to be audibly flawless depending almost entirely on recording quality, once all the known standard basics are implemented. Even one of the recent $100 budget class D amps makes them...

    $6k Mcintosh MX200 11.2CH AV Processor Overpriced?

    ...just power and a six channel wireless amp in the attic. I’ve looked at the NAD M10v2 that can do 4.2 surround with two rea/side wireless speakers but there’s almost no compatible speakers. If they would offer a decent wireless class D monoblock I think a lot of people would adopt it just...

    My initial impressions switching from Parasound Halo to an ATI AT524nc

    ...While the usual warranty covers a certain length of time because "They either go immediately, or last forever", it would seem that the manufacturers of ClassD amplifiers aren't so confident in the 'last forever' idea. Bryston has offered a 20 year warranty for a long time but they aren't Class D.

    Replacement/Upgrade for Emotiva XPA-11

    Class D seems to be the future. I am hoping Yamaha will also go class D and make a new 16CH class D amp to match their new 16Ch AVP. I know you want some Yamaha's. So don't lie. ;) :D

    ...low frequency (where it dropped below 2ohm and then went up like a vertical wall). I'm sorry I never got to try some of the 1-ohm compliant class Ds (like Crown) to see what happened with those; but my Yamaha pro class H's couldn't get best sound from them (the only speakers I've owned they...
