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."

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...

I don't see an issue with the aforementioned amp modules for any of Focal's offerings. Their measurements have no issues with 2 ohm loads. I'm not a huge fan of Focal's design implementations but these amps will do fine. Unless you want to put some extra money into a couple of AB amps on the...

There are plenty of AMPs available in the US available for well below your max budget, AB, AB hybrids, G, H, and Class D. You definitely want to make sure that your amp has failed and not another component or speaker so you can appropriate money correctly. If all 3 channels developed the same...

...the boards are now made by robots using surface mount components, again installed by robots. The the third issue is that these ubiquitous class D amps, are very complicated and a nightmare to work on, even under the best of situations. So, that is why I have so much vintage equipment, as it...

Thanks for the input more knowledge and choices are always better... Enjoy!

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)...

-Interesting question. It really comes down to what one user can afford.. If it was choice then it would be a European brand. Most American brands are ove priced rubbish, and with the exchange rates are completely out of anyone' thinking. Consider the fact that the american price has to...

...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...

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).

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/

...it better be the cat's meow, lol. While they measure "well", better hope one has a different brand of preamp (at this time). It would take a long time blowing up some of the best class D offerings before those amps make sense, and I come from the heavy boutique brands going back to the late '70s.

...not rated for 2 ohms nominal loads. Anyway, if you are interested, you can browse through the thread linked below, a poll was included: Class D power amplifiers | Audioholics Home Theater Forums The buckeyeamp is budget friendly, if you don't mind spending more, take a look of the Apollon...

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..

Get those amps service!!! Why go Class D?! You'll lose that (warm) TFM sound! No way I'd go Class D!! Buckeye buckaroo whatever.. Class D? Yuk!!! :p;):)

...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...

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...

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.

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.
