"class AB amp driven subs that lasted forever back in the day." You made a good point on Class D Amps, premature failure. I remember Polk Audio Pro Subs the whole line suffered premature amp failure. Polk couldn't even replace those amps didn't have any. Going the route of a passive sub with a...

Choice of DAC IC in a product? I recall another thread about Denon using a much lower performance DAC IC in one of their receivers compared to the previous generation. At least one poster in this thread, not you of course, was very focused on non-audibility of distortion and not noise at all, as...

People get creative when talking about class of amp let alone the whole warmth/bright thing. I don't believe the current series is class D in any case. I'd simply compare feature sets/prices for an avr choice, maybe the flavor of dsp you want to use.

Cool lookin' speakers. I am a fan of wood looks. Walnut, etc... You brought me back when you mentioned reading album credits. I used to read song lyrics, on both albums and cassettes. I am guilty of gawking though. I saw the Wharfedale AURA's and the Dynaudio EVOKE's. I had to have them. Even...

As others above have indicated you will get SOTA measurements from Hypex and Purifi Class D modules. You will not hear a better sound than those anywhere— period. Check the spec comparisons over at at audio science review which almost specializes in Class D measurements...

One point some people make is that class-D amps cannot handle 2-ohms and 1-ohm. It doesn’t matter to most of us because our speakers are usually 4-8 ohms. But what do you think?

Thanks, I bought a pristine used A21+ a few weeks ago. Upon first listening, I felt like perhaps it just seemed a little bit "slow" sounding, compared to the McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe. I did receive a couple comments on another board from owners who felt the A21+ was "sluggish" sounding, and that...

Typically, over the last 15 to 20 years, many AVR's have had heat related failures - but they have usually been due to the HDMI and DSP boards and chipsets, not the amps. Although most (all?) of the AVR's involved were class AB - that is neither here nor there, as the power amp sections have...

...power and b)hair trigger protection circuitry. That seems to severely limit it's utility. On the value front, there are lots of more proven class d alternatives for similar cost to choose from that don't have the power limits and load compatibility compromises. I would wait and see how...

@PENG, not knocking Class D amps, many use them in their setups, very happy with the results. Funny you mentioned how easy Class D Amps are for placement, plus weight a lot less. I dropped a class A/B, 5 channel Amp on my right hand few years back, stayed swollen for almost a month.

All those are European or American brands - currently Aussie dollar is low. Plus postage will be high. I found this Aussie brand (Elektra) if someone could have a look - on paper it looks extremely impressive three channel amp. Damping factor > 5000 freq response starts from 5 Hz (Blah blah?)...

No idea why they did it. Class H amps have had avery checkered history. Not that class D have been smooth going in years past. However, class D amps seem to be at a point where they are reliable.

I found this Article on Class D amps https://search.brave.com/search?q=whats+knock+on+class+d+amps&source=desktop Interesting article. Article did state this at the end of it though. "It’s worth noting that these “knocks” are not unique to Class D amplifiers and can be mitigated with proper...

It's not cheap to be sure, but I can't think of anything similar for less $ either. One could buy say a Buckeye class D amp and a MiniDSP HSD for comparable capabilities with room correction, DSP, etc and plenty of power on tap. That would cost less. I admit I still like my A/B amps, but will...

With those choices flip a coin, whichever sided it lands on still good to go. Chasing that dragging down a rabbit hole, Is broad with this hobby. Class D amp/amps for surround duty would be a great option.

There's something to be said just for an external/rack amp too. Spec'g cheap class d amps to keep prices down an issue too, killed a sub company called Epik and one other IIRC (Elemental?)

Did you read the article linked in the first post of this thread? The Sony avr just says power consumption, not max, and can exceed 240W.

I've been using Crown amps to power my subs for over a decade. I have both class A/B and class D and both have been flawless since day one. My class D amp was used when I bought it 13 years ago.

Good point of interest in your comments, I've been following PENG a lot on those new Class D amps he loves so much. The specs on them are some of the best I've seem. Also over on ASR site many are big fans of those types of amps. High output to dollar value, I'm just not completely sold yet on...

As much as I love my Parasound 2125v2, my upgrade to the NAD C298 amplifier sounds even better, C298 is the little brother to the NAD M23, Purifi Eigentakt Class D in a mixed use music 2.2/movies 7.4.4 sys source=Apple Music lossless My video:
