    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    ...height speakers so the RX-A3040 "only" has to drive 5 channels. I've only briefly looked, but Fosi caught my eye. I'm wondering if there are other/better new/used offerings. I want to stick with Class D b/c I put low priority on height channels, and I don't want to add to room heating...

    Bryston Class D Amplifiers

    What are your thoughts/opinions on the Bryston class D amps? The BD-325 is 325 Watts into 8-ohm, 650 Watts into 4-ohms, Linear Power Supply, Massive Toroidal Transformers, Bryston’s legendary 20 YEAR Warranty. Oh, and the cost is almost HALF of their class A/B amps. The BRYSTON BD-225-2 is...

    Class D amp settings

    Getting ready to set up my Class D Buckeye Purifi amp. There's low, med, high gain settings on the back. Any thoughts on how to determine best gain setting?

    Yamaha AS 1100 to Peachtree

    Modern NCore-based Class D amps have come a long way and can absolutely compete with high-end traditional Class AB designs in terms of clarity, control, and noise floor. That said, the A-S1100 has a very natural, slightly weighty presentation that a lot of people still prefer emotionally over...

    Very well. What inexpensive 2, 4 or other multi-channel class-D amplifiers are available?

    Bryston Class D Amplifiers

    More bad news from Bryston. Now the class D Bryston amps only have a 5YR warranty. Initially when I spoke to James Tanner, the Bryston Class D had a 20YR warranty. Now the class D has a 5YR warranty and the class AB has a 10YR. ATI has a 7YR warranty on their class D amps for comparison and...

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    Here's an (relatively) inexpensive 3-channel class-D amp which even TLS Guy can't objectively critique. https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/amplifiers/purifi/1et6525sa/3_channel Also available as a 2-channel or monoblock. Also, VTV uses Purifi design in their amps, and they measure excellently as...

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    I am not new to this. I'm looking for recommendations on inexpensive Class D amplifiers, not anything else. Ideally 4-channels b/c I don't like having little boxes floating around, I have enough already.

    Yamaha AS 1100 to Peachtree

    Do the Peachtree preamp/amp have measurements? How much are they? I think the Yamaha looks awesome and the 90WPC true amp power will sound as good as any analog preamp/amp. Bryston also announced their new Integrated Class-D Amp called the Bi-101. I think 100WPC is all we need. But if it just...

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    I just want recommendations for a cheap class D amplifier. From what I see about the Fosi v3; sourcing a low noise power supply seems to be the problem. Perhaps someone here has a recommendation for one or the other, or can confirm the Fosi v3 is a good option.

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    ...Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum I have two of those, monoblock version that replaced my Bryston 4B SST, Parasound Halo A21, and the buckeyeamp Hypex 502MP. No Yamaha power amp or integrated amp could come close to such class D chip based amps on the test bench in the <$2,000 range (or...

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    Very little power goes to ceiling speakers, and that will not significantly offload your AVR. If you want to do that, then you need to power the front three. What you are preposing is a waste of money.

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    Why do you think your AVR needs additional power? How big is your room? How far do you away sit from your speakers? How loud do you play your media? What signs do you see that your AVR is running out of power? What make and model of speakers are you using?

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    I mean... do you have something to quantify that? If you look at the specs of the Anthem MRX1120, they're basically doing exactly what I'm suggesting:

    Rotel rkb850 8 channel class d amplifier

    Utilized this power amplifier for atmos duties since it’s 50wpc at 8ohm all channels driven and doubles to 100wpc at 4ohm all channels driven. Black unit with rack mount and table top feet and power cable/trigger cable. Looking for 180$ which seems fair as other listings are 300+.

    Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

    Less is more and quality over quantity. ;) At one point I was into all analog so I bought 3 Acurus RL class-A stereo preamps to create a 5.1 system. The Denon BD player 5.1 preamp outputs would connect to the 3 Acurus preamps. Those were the young good old days. These days if I were starting...

    Taking the load off the RX-A3040 - Small Class D 4-channel Amp for Height Speakers Recommendation

    ...precious 400 watts. (BTW I think you're vastly oversimplifying how an amplifier divides power between channels, but it's also not my area of expertise, so I'll run with your assumptions). So I ask again: recommendations for inexpensive not-too-shitty 4-channels of class D amplification, please.
