    SVS micro 3000 amp repair question

    It is impossible to answer that question with certainty. I doubt it is unsafe. There are quite a few approaches to class D amps, which that amp will be. My hunch is that wine is coming from the LC filter. These amps are class D, or switching amps to conserve power and reduce heating. These...

    Is the Onkyo TX-RZ70 the Best AVR under $3000?

    I was just looking around for the same information.... sadly Onkyo/Integra have not been quite as forthcoming about the guts of their gear as D&M have!

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

    ...for $2500 is also the cheapest version of it. The Ultra is $4200 and it can go up from there with options. What I don’t like is all these class D amps like the one we are talking about has a 1 year warranty (WTF). All these class D amps have a much smaller warranty compared to traditional amp...

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

    Was curious, so just checked what Bryston is doing with their class D offering, looks like they're still doing 20 years. My Crowns came with 3 year warranties but not an issue since expiration, some are 15 years old now in daily use.

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

    ...new setup and the aesthetic my wife was looking for with the new console. The previous setup had very low WAF. One nice thing about these class D amps is how easily they will fit inside the console. The McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Edition amp on top just barely won't fit in the console. It...

    Amp protection lights on

    Interesting comment by Gene Delasrio in his review of LBM speakers....... "Class-A/B may not be quite as efficient as class-D, but it is more reliable on the whole, and with such a massive heatsink, it looks like a unit that was built to last."

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

    Very nice setup, your front 3 speakers surely love current! They will do well with Bruno's class D amps. By the way, Bruno is main guy in the design/development of both the Hypex and Purifi modules, here's a good article that he and Gene worked together on a few years ago, don't let anyone...

    Amp protection lights on

    If I would buy a new amplifier then a good class D is what I most likely would buy, and as @everettT wrote low heat generation is important to me as well. Also note that an efficient power supply is very important as well as most of the time the amplifier will output low power (1-5 watt or so)...

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

    I don't dispute that the AB amps are most likely excellent, but they are still inefficient and heat generating amps with the best class D amps performing better (not audibly, likely).

    Will a 3-channel separate Amp mellow big two tower speakers?

    ...some technical reviews that included bench test measurements, but I found none on the internet. The March Audio amps (seems to be the only class D Bruno Putrzey designed amps build in Australia) is preferred mainly because it is class D, that I think is the trend, sooner or later they will...

    Best available A/V Processor for a 5.1 System

    I'm a big fan of the Marantz AV10 plus an ATI amp. The new Class D models are great, and their AB amplifiers are second to none. They also have a 7 year warranty. My clients love them. Here's a link to the ATI website. https://www.ati-amp.com/

    Amp for RTI A9

    Forgot about those monoprice amps, yeah OP those are also solid choice. Just a note, many on AH like those Buckeye amps solid also. They are class D. Very good spec's gobs of power plus weigh a lot less. But cost is about the same as class A/B amps..

    Topping B100 Monoblock Amp

    ...AMP and it seems to measure well. 100 watts @ ohms is no slouch, but it is Class B. 83w at 8ohms. Every amp I have owned up until the ATI Class D has been class AB. (Anthem, Parasound) This amp is only class B, is there any disadvantage to this? At $299.00 the Topping B100 seems like an...

    Shopping for decent power amp’s lighting took out two carver TFM-35 x’s

    The TFM series of amps were built to sound like a tube amp they are very transparent in sound run very cool . Tons of headroom and they work great with about any modern AVR . Myself I don’t know about the tube sound but they are very detailed in music and are excellent in home theater use . TFM...

    Parasound website

    Parasound was sold by it's founder in December 2022. I'd guess that it will not survive despite the new owner. Once class D amplification became a mature design, all older designs got notice that they had to find new ways to cut costs, join the class D bandwagon, or go the way of the dodo bird.

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

    Not true. Warranties can be had for 5 years. In case of ATI 7 years. Oh and then there are the superior bench measurements easily recognized by using math.
