...i was determined to give more time n patience to my next speakers. I'd tried out at least 12 other speakers. Its funny you mentioning that class d might be better, reading through Rich.b's thoughts and the thread about the ati class d, and having second thoughts about it. Have been under the...

Didn't know that Boston Acoustics made car speakers. Yeah, I've always been one for good quality sound at mid levels over SPL. Don't want to hijack this thread with car audio though. For home audio I have always liked the looks of the Carver amps and they were engineered so well. That would...

...that deep at volume. So good if you want to rock out. Not so great if you're looking for home theatre rumble. I'd probably look at one of the class D 250W or 500W monoblock models to power it. No suggestions on level and crossover control. Not something I've looked into myself for subs...

What the H is TMF sound? Sounds like some unwanted coloration. I think class D amps will be an improvement over ubiquitous class AB amps. I have used current dumping amps for years and years, but I do not think I would be adverse to class D amps.

...of the ones I was looking at were only 1 year and were double the ATI price. I don’t get it. Something is not adding up. I went to look at this class D ATI amp and in the specs it states the weight is 66 pounds. I haven’t seen any class D more than 25pounds.the NAD Master M23 class D is 23...

...8 ohms and 500 watts into 4 ohms with SOTA noise and distortion performance. It’s also gorgeous and weighs a hefty 74 pounds despite being a Class D, high efficient design. Marantz has done some slick things to make it a unique offering such as: Latest generation of HDAM preamp circuits...

I agree with everything you have to say here. Long production runs without changes are the best way to build longevity and reliability. Updating and changing models and designs like shirts is a sure route to excess failures. That is why my Quad current dumping amps are not going anywhere. I...

...Perhaps right away when it arrives, and I might approach it casually, I don't know. This is just a way for me to have a legitimately powerful class D amp without external power supply without a mrtg payment. After listening to the 200ASC last night for about 6 hrs, I really could not find any...

Also check out ATI amps. They have both old school class AB 300WPC amps and class D 500WPC amps. All ATI amps come with 7 YR warranty.

Guess you are not a measurement kind of guy. Warm huh?

Mainly curious about the specs and how they measure up to other Class D amps. It seems like the Hypex and Purifi modules are pretty established and perform well, so interested to see how the Bryston compares given they seem to using their own proprietary design. I assume that they will measure...

Cannot comment on Bryston's Class D amps. Their A/B amps are nearly bullet proof. I am using a 4B-ST (Lexicon 225) to drive my pair of Maggie 1.7s. The amp is now 38+ years old. About 12 years ago the amp moaned from one channel when shutting down. Sent it back to Bryston for service they...

The class D amps are not “one” amp but many different amp modules the most powerful would be the Hypex NcoreX modules or the second generation Purifi modules. These are much smaller amps, run cooler and have the better bench measurements than the older Class AB amps...

Old thread, I know. The Heaven-11 Billie is into its MK 3 generation, now with options for an internal DAC and phono preamp and without either and a choice of class-D amp, either ICE-Power or Hypex with small power differences, the Hypex slightly more. The units are made in Canada but as others...

I second the ATI recommendation. Their class D amps are fantastic.

Outlaw does not market Class D amps, only Class AB.

You shocked me, like with 50 kV, for even thinking it is the DAC!!!!!!!!! Of all people, I would have though you know what DACs do right?:D By the way, it is a fact that the AV10 use a reference class ESS DAC IC, but not the flagship class that is used in some other AVPs/AVRs such as the...

Looks can be deceiving. Those amps are not particularly long lived, because of design problems. Class A/B amps are not inherently longer lived than class D.

...one on top of the other and not worry about the amps getting hot enough to fry eggs! If I were starting out now though, I would be in the class D camp. However the downside is a huge part count and modern manufacturing techniques making repair pretty much impossible except by board...
