    Equipment to run Polk L800s

    Guess you decided to disregard his intro of “I’m new so be nice.” The reviewer (Matthew Poes) thought enough of those speakers to actually purchase a pair.

    Not just my brain, your reply doesn't make sense based on my post. To your point: AVRs still get hot with 11 channels of amps in them, even class D To my point: I stated 2 channel I didn't discuss it in regard to an atmos solution, please read. Two wall outlets, so inconvenient? comparing it to...

    One of my speakers sounds like it's underwater.

    I purchased a pair of JBL N28s on Ebay a few years ago and thought one was defective. For 100.00 I said 'Oh well, live n learn'...Turns out my 65 watt amp was not powerful enough to properly run them after I tested the old JBLs on a class D amp that pushes 100 watts per channel...They sound fine.

    ...I really want to support his creativity, so just ordered a pair for a secondary (bedroom) system. I'm currently using a Fosi BL20A Class D amp there, driving in-ceiling speakers. The LC1's are only 83 dB sensitivity, so I'll probably need more power. Will definitely be a contrast from my...

    Looking for Amplifier upgrade/add-on advice

    Thanks for the feedback AcuDefTechGuy, I decided to get the Marantz AMP 10 to match everything. I am not a big fan of black and silver amps together. Also, I would like to compare the Parasound Class AB to the Marantz AMP 10 Class D.

    Adding an external power amplifier

    Those DCA Series amps don't have a Class D output configuration. The DCA 1222 and the 1622 operate as Class AB, whereas the more powerful amps have a 2-tier Class H output circuitry. Some if not all of these amps were released in 1998 and their circuitry was never modified just as proof of good...

    Receiver Power Consumption vs Output Power

    ...class AB amp, how can this amp consume only 240 watts? Is this rating because of heating requirements? On the other hand, the JBL MA710, a class D amplifier has the following specs. Given that this is a class D with much higher efficiency, why would this amp have a maximum draw of 500...

    Only makes “no sense” to your brain. Class D amps give off less heat. Probably what is inside active speakers. At one time long ago I was going to go active speakers—until I realized each speaker would need an ac power source. So no speaker cables but an ac outlet. Hmmm not that practical...

    Subwoofer repair - Minnesota

    The impedance of the driver in his sub is 8 ohms. I thought it likely was, as this unit uses a class switching power supply, feeding two bridged 100 ohm class AB amps. It is really weird contraption. No wonder there are not many still around. So that amp would only deliver 50 watts into his...

    Very true, I'm not a amp guru, but Crown Class D amps have a proven track of quality, reliability and longevity you can't kill them. I've always wondered why Class D in Subs have reliability issue, premature failure or at the very least be able to get the amp serviced.

    How are primare amps?

    I would consider ATI, especially the Class D Series.

    3D Printing of speakers is now A THING?

    ...super-high-quality parts could normal audiophiles make their own uber-high-end loudspeakers? DIY speakers have always seemed silly to me but these are different times. AI, 3D printing. Class D-Amps that kick total ass for cheap? Do you think they have a point? Perhaps more so now, than before?

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

    Heat likely won't be much issue depending on the biasing scheme of the amps and how much heatsink area they have.

    Which amp would you buy?

    Crown has always been one of the best for reliable class D. I like what you and Lovin were saying about passive subs and rack amps that's really the ideal way to go in my humble opinion. I just don't have enough room in my rack :(
