How are Trinnov Amps some of the best amps? And at what cost? Trinnov amps have a 5YR warranty like Bryston, which is not even as good as ATI's 7YR warranty. Trinnov 200x8 amp is $16K w/ 5YR warranty, which is ridiculous for $16K. It's not any better than any other 200W amps.

And that would mean having MCH 11CH-Analog Inputs, making the AVR more complex, which is not Yamaha’s motto. It’s fun playing the wish-list and prediction game. :D

The carvers in many series are very well made and crazy power I love mine but I like you like the Quad offerings and the class D stuff is very interesting too .

...20YR warranty. The 225-2 is almost HALF the price of the 3B3. I’ve always wanted Bryston for their 20YR warranty and brand name, but their class A/B amp prices are just too high. Now thanks to their new class D, I’m wondering if more audiophiles will actually jump onto the Bryston bandwagon. :D

Like Benchmark's, those class D amps use linear power supplies, and that's the main reason why they are much heavier than the Purifi and Hypex amps that use switching PS. Some Purifi, and may be Hypex amps also use linear power supplies, such as some NAD models, and if they do they will be...

So they use the SAME amp modules that Ryan and others are talking about and charge like 10 times more? What's not to like about that? So other than a few people's very subjective opinions, are Trinnov AND OTHER COMPANIES offering anything different for the much higher price? Much better...

I recommend ATI. The company has built amps for many high-end companies - including Lexicon, Mark Levinson, Cary Audio, Earthquake. ATI also owns Theta Digital, B&K, and DataSat. They have both A/B and Class D amps, and they come with a 7-year warranty.

Yeah class D amps are switching amps too lol..so it can be switching ps + ab amp modules, or linear ps + switching amps or switching ps + switching amps.

I love how clean this class d (diy) amp looks and the measurements are SOTA. If we could get manufacturers to do the same with these type of modules, we'd all benefit.

If they don't reduce the price of their amps, the a amount of sales will definitely go down. That's all they deserve. Many amps including some new Class D amps that cost a lot less and perform just as well will replace them.

First day done at ISE 2026 and nothing. :( I was hoping the launch would done earlier in the year as the new products won´t be in stock right away. Today Arcam launched three Radia AVR`s and AVP plus two power amps. 9 ch class-d amplification in the cheapest AVR costing 3000$ which is good sign...

ATI AT522NC = 0.001% THD+N, SINAD 99.9dB (ASR). https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/ati-at522nc-stereo-amplifier-review.9999/ So even if the 1200-modules have lower THD+N, you will absolutely not be able to hear a difference between a THD+N of 0.001% and something lower...

...been seriously downsized and they are sold at steep prices to make a huge mark up per unit. So, I would be inclined to gamble on a good class D just for the cooler running. In so many ways you are dependent these days on the ethics of the manufacturer to make arrangements for long term...

Haha, that's taking things out of context or simply too literally. I don't believe anyone (okay I concede, there's always a few idiots) who claims all amps sound alike mean it literally. Yes if you take it literally then you believe those "anyone" would mean a $30 brand new class AB amp...

If all people cared about is power and sound, they can also just get a pro amp from crown, Yamaha, or QSC. Most people don’t even need external amps. AVRs from Yamaha and Denon are perfectly fine with extremely low THD. Nothing wrong with driving a KIA or Hyundai car. It gets people from...

I'm sold. On class D amps that is. They've demonstrated SOTA performance, the only unproven aspect being long term reliability, and even that becomes less of a concern as they're going into "mature tech" at this point. The Bryston is a bit bougie, but kudos to them for their 20 yr warranty.

Marantz AV30 + ATI AT1825 class-AB 200x5 amp would be awesome. But probably more pride of ownership. :D ATI amps are awesome, but unless you actually need more power than the Yamaha flagship AVR, probably won't hear any difference - unless you're also in the "all amps have a sound signature...

ATI uses the 600 series Modules I believe. I wish they would use the 1200 modules. Is the actual price difference worth a few thousand? probably not. What you are getting is a product built by one of the top companies in the high-end home theater market. I trust a company that produces one of...

The Radia series look like they are the Arcam badged versions of the JBL MA series....

I am using one, and I created a thread on class D amp, based on my early experience with this tiny amp that replace one of my big amps a few years ago: Class D power amplifiers | Audioholics Home Theater Forums
