+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.

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...

...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...

Bruno's work, including power supplies, is exceptional. He has transformed amplification in the modern era.

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...

This game ain't like like clothes shopping or a fashion show!

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.

...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...

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...

...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?

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...

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.

I'll be sure and read through it. you guys are awesome and Geniuses LOL!! I use 12 gauge speaker wire from QED, XLR cables from blue jeans and audioquest. Thinking about getting the Kimber cable 8TC Gene recommends, but a little too pricey for me right now. Another question I'm sure you guys...

...3d sound: denafrips Pontus II 12th-1 - preamp with automatic home theater bypass, treble/bass tone controls, L/R balance: parasound 2100 - class D amp: NAD c298 - ribbon speakers: PS Audio FR5, GoldenEar BRX - sealed subwoofers with bass radiators - Cardas audio cables - iFi Supanova active...

I would consider ATI, especially the Class D Series.

Heat likely won't be much issue depending on the biasing scheme of the amps and how much heatsink area they have.

Choice of DAC IC in a product? I recall another thread about Denon using a much lower performance DAC IC in one of their receivers compared to the previous generation. At least one poster in this thread, not you of course, was very focused on non-audibility of distortion and not noise at all, as...

Cool lookin' speakers. I am a fan of wood looks. Walnut, etc... You brought me back when you mentioned reading album credits. I used to read song lyrics, on both albums and cassettes. I am guilty of gawking though. I saw the Wharfedale AURA's and the Dynaudio EVOKE's. I had to have them. Even...

...because that make them easy to place and disappear and let me focus on the music I am listening to. So yes I missed my Bryston SST and Parasound Halo amp sometimes, and will keep my remaining class AB amps probably forever..., but most of the time I listen to music with those mini class D...

Crown has always been one of the best for reliable class D. I like what you and Lovin were saying about passive subs and rack amps that's really the ideal way to go in my humble opinion. I just don't have enough room in my rack :(
