    Equipment to run Polk L800s

    Guess you decided to disregard his intro of “I’m new so be nice.” The reviewer (Matthew Poes) thought enough of those speakers to actually purchase a pair.

    RP1600 IS DEAD!!

    It's not that it's class D, it's the quality of the amp. Klipsch subs have somewhat a history of less than reliable amps on subs. However, I'd think you're well within warranty and they should respond with an amp replacement if you contact them. Most sub amps these days will be class D, tho...

    Not just my brain, your reply doesn't make sense based on my post. To your point: AVRs still get hot with 11 channels of amps in them, even class D To my point: I stated 2 channel I didn't discuss it in regard to an atmos solution, please read. Two wall outlets, so inconvenient? comparing it to...

    RP1600 IS DEAD!!

    I thought all powered subs have class-D amps? You can always just buy a non-powered sub like the RBH S-12N or S-1212N and use your own class-AB amp and never have to worry about any more dead internal sub amps.

    One of my speakers sounds like it's underwater.

    I purchased a pair of JBL N28s on Ebay a few years ago and thought one was defective. For 100.00 I said 'Oh well, live n learn'...Turns out my 65 watt amp was not powerful enough to properly run them after I tested the old JBLs on a class D amp that pushes 100 watts per channel...They sound fine.

    Which amp would you buy?

    +1 for the ATi Amp, Although all the amps you listed are good choices. You may get Some suggestions for Class D amps. I myself don't care much for Class D amps. Some like Class D amps a lot, To each their own though.

    Measurements not Revealing Significant Differences Between AVRs and AVPs

    You can run Doom on very very vintage hardware.... running it on the latest top class CPU won't make it any different... Having a faster CPU with greater bandwidth, will only help IF the software actually needs it!! And sadly, we have no insight into that... (yeah many of us have a background...

    Florida (International) Audio Expo 2025

    ...I really want to support his creativity, so just ordered a pair for a secondary (bedroom) system. I'm currently using a Fosi BL20A Class D amp there, driving in-ceiling speakers. The LC1's are only 83 dB sensitivity, so I'll probably need more power. Will definitely be a contrast from my...

    Only makes “no sense” to your brain. Class D amps give off less heat. Probably what is inside active speakers. At one time long ago I was going to go active speakers—until I realized each speaker would need an ac power source. So no speaker cables but an ac outlet. Hmmm not that practical...

    Looking for Amplifier upgrade/add-on advice

    Thanks for the feedback AcuDefTechGuy, I decided to get the Marantz AMP 10 to match everything. I am not a big fan of black and silver amps together. Also, I would like to compare the Parasound Class AB to the Marantz AMP 10 Class D.

    Receiver Power Consumption vs Output Power

    ...class AB amp, how can this amp consume only 240 watts? Is this rating because of heating requirements? On the other hand, the JBL MA710, a class D amplifier has the following specs. Given that this is a class D with much higher efficiency, why would this amp have a maximum draw of 500...

    Subwoofer repair - Minnesota

    The impedance of the driver in his sub is 8 ohms. I thought it likely was, as this unit uses a class switching power supply, feeding two bridged 100 ohm class AB amps. It is really weird contraption. No wonder there are not many still around. So that amp would only deliver 50 watts into his...

    3D Printing of speakers is now A THING?

    ...super-high-quality parts could normal audiophiles make their own uber-high-end loudspeakers? DIY speakers have always seemed silly to me but these are different times. AI, 3D printing. Class D-Amps that kick total ass for cheap? Do you think they have a point? Perhaps more so now, than before?

    Adding an external power amplifier

    Those DCA Series amps don't have a Class D output configuration. The DCA 1222 and the 1622 operate as Class AB, whereas the more powerful amps have a 2-tier Class H output circuitry. Some if not all of these amps were released in 1998 and their circuitry was never modified just as proof of good...

    Emotiva XS15 a review

    Very true, I'm not a amp guru, but Crown Class D amps have a proven track of quality, reliability and longevity you can't kill them. I've always wondered why Class D in Subs have reliability issue, premature failure or at the very least be able to get the amp serviced.
