The only different connector I see on the Trinnov is the BD25. If comparing the ATI 200x8 class-D to Trinnov 200x8 class-D, other than the BD25 connector on the Trinnov, the ATI retails $6K w/ 7YR warranty and the Trinnov retails $16,500 w/ 5YR warranty. So other than the BD25 connector, what...

We specify ATI amps (Class D and Class AB) with KEF speakers all the time. No problems and they sound great.

Well, I hope to get my units going again, do a double blind comparison with Hypex and resolve for myself the class D vs AB debate. If I can't tell the difference, or the Hypex comes out ahead, I am selling all these back breakers and going all in on class D.

I'd agree from a math/objective perspective, but nothing beats a double blind test to resolve mental/subjective conflicts. Id also add that class D can only get better over time whereas AB appears to have peaked a while back.

Not sure class D will work. I know anthem’s will

We just tested the AMPED 2400 stereo amplifier, which claims to be made in the USA despite using Pascal OEM Class D modules that source parts globally. Our bench tests of this $6K amp—rated at 800 W per channel into 4 ohms—show it doesn’t quite reach its claimed power. Featuring a proprietary...

I've been very tempted by an Apollon model to try out a higher end class D amp. I'm quite happy with my new Musical Fidelity M6 PRX class AB power amp and the sound it produces though. The Appollon isn't hugely expensive but it's still a large chunk of change for something "just to try" and...

You wanted the Bryston class A/B amps with 20YR warranty, but they were not cost-effective. So you went with the much more cost-effective class-D option that still gave you excellent measurement.

Yeah. I can’t blame anyone for feeling the same. I am very disappointed.

Although the Bryston cost a lot more than the Purifi and Hypex amps, there may be exceptions but in most installations, with comparable amp power ratings, you shouldn't hear any difference in SQ between them, but perhaps enjoy possession pride.

Getting one of those Buckaroo class D amps is equivalent to say a Corolla. Where's a Bryston class D is equivalent to a Mercedes.:cool:.

Good to hear.

...already won. That’s not to mention a premium case and 20 year warranty. I think Bryston hit it out of the park . This thing really needs to go on a bench test as these specs are ridiculous in the dynamic range and absolutely crush other class D amps, most have very little dynamic range above...

This and near infinite crossover slopes will allow designers so much flexibility. Genelec and Neumann have it down to an exact science.

An alternate to the Class D amps could also be the QSC DCA Series power amps for long term reliability and parts availability. Their aesthetic appearance is not as good as on some Class D cabinets however. But as a matter of fact, these products which carry only a 2 year warranty, were released...

If SINAD is the only thing that matters to the individual, then I bet there are cheaper alternatives like the Chinese amps. Just like if FR is the only that matters, then there are cheaper alternatives to high-end speakers. I bet Chinese speakers can have great FR too. There’s an amp and...

My comment isn't to be taken seriously. Lol. Really! Both, Buckeye/Bryston class d amps are very well built. I myself have no need for any class added amp. My A1080 only drives 5.1 set fits my need. After reading Gene's comment, I clicked that link he provided, as usual Gene seems to be...

Not sure I buy this analogy. Instead, think of the entire system as the car, and the amps as the engines, so the better analogy would be a couple of Mercedes but one with an LS engine wap. That seems to do more justice to the Buckey amps. They're good at what they do. Really, really good.

Do you have a preference and why, if so?

If based on bench test measurements, none of those class D amps beat the Benchmark AHB2, except the Bryston's have not been tested so being class D, they may have a chance, as some higher model Purifi amps have managed to do on some test benches. For class AB amps, last time I checked, the...
