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...

...Lower-cost analog amps tend to be more reliable than lower-cost class-D amps. Analog amps can also have more headroom than a similarly rated Class D w SMPS amp." Perhaps his caveat is "low cost" class D amps. Maybe his concern is the power supply. I think those are modular and user...

...are not an option and I like separates. They just started carrying T+A Audio Systems which are half-rack sized so easy to fit. They are class D amps which I’ve never used. Always class A or A/B amps and AVRs. Please share if you’ve had any experience with T+A Audio Systems (please no...

You think Denon has a "sound" vs Marantz?

They did and even the basic ones sounded vey good. The Pro series had cast aluminum frames, rubber surrounds, Polypropylene cones and they were great.

Im a fan of class D, and Amir and ASR does good work, so I have no reason to believe Buckeye is anything but an amazing value. And I guess I’m technically an Audioholics expert again, so there’s that.

I'd keep waffling and not waste more money!

...concentrate on currant rather than just power as a whole which in hindsight is a bit presumtous of the process. Im leaning more towards ati's class d, although like you say cooling on those amps as a whole is quite good, but with the added perks of class d it weighs up favourably especially...

I’m concerned about the warranty of all Class D amps as if you look, you will see they don’t come close to the warranty of Class A/B amps. That doesn’t give me a warm-fuzzy

Thanks, I'm old school and not familiar with these class D amps. Can they sustain high output for extended periods? And would they work well with my Anthem STR preamp? I see that the Buckeye can produce 28A output current, while the Parasound can produce 60A.

...so frequent that range, it won't stay at constant level so there will be tons of breathing room for the amps, class AB with large PS, and class D amps should have no trouble dealing with such occasional and typically narrow dips. 3. The RS Kappa 9, based on the schematics show a switch, that...

The plan is to get them serviced and upgraded to the present spec there just to nice of an amp to park . I’ve had these for 20 or more years . It’s time for a refresh. The Buckeye amp is to fill in till one is done then switch it out and send another in .

Ah, yes, ATI. Thanks for reminding me about ATI; I remember them from back in the day. I will check them out.

Hi again—you came to this forum for advice. All forum members, so far are recommending you buy and use Class D amps. Engineering science and applications have moved forward onto Class D amps. Are you still wanting old used AB amps? Why?

thanks for the info , I will use it for a while and see if the noise is noticeable from listening position . appreciate the help

It is impossible to answer that question with certainty. I doubt it is unsafe. There are quite a few approaches to class D amps, which that amp will be. My hunch is that wine is coming from the LC filter. These amps are class D, or switching amps to conserve power and reduce heating. These...

...those things are due to power amps in the calibre of those you are looking at, if someone says they could hear the difference between ATI's class D and AB, I just smile, knowing full well, with confidence that they would not hear the claimed differences in a well controlled DBT, I respect...

I was just looking around for the same information.... sadly Onkyo/Integra have not been quite as forthcoming about the guts of their gear as D&M have!

...for $2500 is also the cheapest version of it. The Ultra is $4200 and it can go up from there with options. What I don’t like is all these class D amps like the one we are talking about has a 1 year warranty (WTF). All these class D amps have a much smaller warranty compared to traditional amp...
