    Adding an external power amplifier

    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...

    Monoblock amplifiers

    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...

    Which Amp For Front Speakers

    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?)

    Receiver Power Consumption vs Output Power

    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...

    The Best Amplifier We've Ever Measured? - NAD M23

    ...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...

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    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.

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

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

    Danon X4700H, Arcam sa30 and 2 Subwoofers.

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

    ATI (Amplifier Technologies) Owners Thread

    The word 'power' is what the masses know, Volt-Amps isn't. Who wants to try to re-educate people who don't know or care about the technicalities? I was thinking about this last evening- the discussion about impedance dropping too low didn't happen often 40-50 years ago because the nominal...

    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...

    Marantz Model 10 Integrated Amp - Purifi Class D Weighs 74lbs!

    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...

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    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...

    Focal Aria Evo X No.4 Loudspeaker Review

    ...or context for their measurement.. Either way, this is a big tower that doesn’t need a ton of power to get loud." Members seem to be trending towards class D amps these days. They tend to be smaller, run cooler and are more energy efficient. Look at amps from ATI, Buckeye or Outlaw to start.

    Marantz AV 20 13.4CH Pre/Pro & AMP 20 12CH Amplifier Official Thread

    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...
