...yet they do, whether we are comparing bench test results of a Benchmark AHB2, McIntosh's flagship amps, Passlab's, or a <$1000 buckeyeamp (class D), Fosi's <$100 class D chip amp. Also, Peter Walker, the EE who designed @TLS Guy 's favorite Quad amps clearly stated they didn't tune their...

My SuperCube 8000 has a class HD (not sure what that is exactly but it has an "H" so..) and it's been used nearly every day since I bought it in 2013 and have not had a single issue other than the auto on is not very sensitive.

I will only use $5,000 Class A/B Amps that weigh 100-Pounds for all my subwoofers. :cool:

I looked at the amps. Will it be wise to get a 3 channel amp to drive my center channel too?

Wait unitl Monday, 8/12/24 when the new FTC power ratings take effect, then look at their specs again...

I can't get behind spending 1500 for Class D Amp for my home audio, when for the same coin one can get a 200 X 2 Class A/B Amp. Sure one Weighs a lot less than the other and of course A/B Amp power supply isn't as efficient. Who really needs 1200 rms, but then some have 750k speaker's in a 30 x...

The pro audio QSC DCA series of power amps are designed to handle 2 ohm loads, so do the Crown DriveCore series amps. The Crown Class D DriveCore series won't generate much heat. So won't the QSC DCA series which have class AB output circuitry but use a SMPS power supply with cooling fans...

Def Tech's smaller 8" & 10" models the DN8 & DN10 employ Class D & for whatever reason they went for the less efficient Class H for their larger DN12 & DN15 models, the logic for the switch to Class H was mentioned in this overview/review of the Descend subwoofer series here...

Anthem deserves the credit for leading the pack in using reference class ESS Sabre DAC ICs in the AVM line. They did not do better on the bench though, likely because of the other parts (mainly ICs) in the audio chain such as the volume IC, switches and opamps. I know many don't care...

I believe Rythmik also use Class H amps in some of their models that have 600W RMS but the top end HX series are (Hypex module) based with either 800W/900W RMS but I suppose that isn't a very good comparison as Rythmik utilise their highly regarded direct servo-based amp technology compared to...

I played with some Denon settings got my sound close to the Arcam, the Denon got HOT... I could fry eggs on it. That is probably why it burned out earlier. I am getting an exrurnal amp.

I got my Crowns used from a pro-audio marketplace... they were abused for a couple of years, then I bought them... 2x XLS2500 for US$250 each - they have been running flawlessly in my system for about 15 years now. Good quality pro-audio gear can be a recipe for long term peace of mind!

Yeah those older designed class AB amps on subs just seemed to last forever back in the day

Yeah most people don’t even know JBL AVRs exist. I know more about AVR than the average consumer, and I didn’t even know JBL AVRs existed. :D Like they say - only time will tell all - if these class-D AVRs are any more or less reliable than other AVRs.

...to eliminate the doubt that may be a more capable amp can do those towers justice. Some better choice would be the Hypex or Purifi based class D amps such as the following: Apollon Hypex NCOREx NCx500 Multichannel Amplifier (3-5 Channel) | Apollon Audio Hypex Purifi Premium Amplifiers...

Can't find any useful details on those speakers, except that those early class D amps in those speakers blew up at an alarming rate. Details of the speakers seem to have dropped off the edge of the Earth. However from what I remember the arrangement was similar to the Def-Tech speakers and you...

Those Crown amps are noisy and don't even come close to the low distortion of a Purifi design. I heard the Crown amps JBL uses in Synthesis and the fan noise was unbearable IF you have the equipment in an acoustically controlled room. I could hear the fans from 10ft away during quiet passages.

...pieces, just no need for a 100+ pound stereo amp and definitely no need for a 160 pound 1.2kw anp in a day were 30 pounds of 1kw heatsinked class D is state of the art. I imagine anyone could design a beautiful faceplate if it boiled down to aesthetics. With the difference in cost, the sky...

I don’t recall seeing a review, but now that you mention it, Ice is supposed to have some new modules bordering on the Hypex and Purifi standards. Pascal modules are supposed to be very good too, but harder to come by.
