I agree everettT whoever told you Class AB amps were superior has outdated information—at least a decade’s worth. Class D from hypex and purifi offer the best measurements. Being more efficient they are also much smaller, much lighter and are much cooler running.

Hello. I recently saw on RBH Sound's website that they offer a customizable, 2-16 channel, Class D amp. I knew they made respectable speakers and subs, but was not aware of these amps. Multi-channel, Class D, built to your specifications? Could be interesting. What are your thoughts? Anyone...

...why not just grab the RZ70, and add a 2 or channel power amps for the channels where the Polk L800s are used? There are many class AB or class D power amps that are rated for 200 to 300 W 8 ohms and 400 to 500 W 4 ohms to choose from. Many Hypex our Purifi class D power amp module based...

...amps from Europe, I wonder if they offer a trial period and return policy if I don't like them or any issues or problems arise. Regarding class D amps, I have a buddy in Denver who is recommending Starkrimson Mono's but the output is 150 watts. They offer a 500 watt amp, but it costs...

Oh, right. I was looking at their $8K SDR-35 AVR, which is class-G, and I assumed their 9100-AVR was also class-G. So their class D and G must be very small and light.

I have five class D two channel amps and at least one sub plate amp. I can't tell any particular difference with my class AB or G amps. Don't know what you expect in terms of dynamic range or "clarity" whatever that is.

I agree Parasound is done.

...save some money and real estate by going with a Fosi V3 monoblock that measured much better than the Outlaw Monoblock. It is high time people move on, forget about class AB amps and embrace class D amps, for space, heat, environmental reasons if not for the typically lower distortion and...

Very few watts. Even 10 would blow your ears off with any regular speakers. "84 dB" if that's even accurate...still quite loud with 10 watts. What do you mean by "everything"? What inputs/features do you need that a small class D does not do?

I left Anthem MCA AB amps and went to Class D 5 years ago. I now have smaller, lighter amps that run cool and that have SOTA bench measurements. So why would anyone use AB other than nostalgia? Check out ASR’s comparative bench measurements of his top reviewed amps. They are Class D with a...

You mean amp class (A, AB, D, etc) ? Or specifics within an amp class?

Definitely fully active crossovers with BW limiting for each driver which is directly coupled to its respective amplifier.

Has to be an active crossover seeing as how each driver gets its own amp. Class AB can be very good. I am sure there is a reason why Focal/Naim went with class AB over class D in a no-expenses-spared loudspeaker.

At one watt it won't be pretty unless it uses Peter Walker's current dumping topology, which uses a small class A amp in a feed forward mode to correct the dumpers. I doubt it does as they would be too stupid to figure it out. That amp is junk. Avoid.

Thanks much for the information! Nothing to do with the quality of their products, but I checked out the Apollon site and they wax more eloquent and use more "audiophile" descriptions of their amps' sound quality than many other manufacturers! What's the difference between Hypex and Purifi...

Wouldn't that more depend on particular execution? Class D can fail, too.

It must have taken real work to deign a three way bookshelf speaker with an impedance curve like that. It is totally unnecessary apart from being design malpractice.

For your spec. then you are pretty much going to have to go with class D switching amps. You are not realistically going to get the power you require without going class D to get the efficiency. The Mac can manage it because of their use of auto transformers. They are essentially using tapped...

As PENG‘s excellent string illustrates it makes sense to buy Class D instead of Class AB. Buckeye is here in America and is, or tries to be, the most economical. His cases are a little too budget oriented for my liking but the internal modules are pretty well standardized. His amps get...

Wow. Lots of Class D stuff. Do all of you guys use Class D? I've read reviews from "Pro" reviewers but I always have that thought in the back of my mind "Is this guy getting paid by the company to review this?" I'd be really interested to hear from people who actually use it on a regular basis...
