Let me introduce you to class D amps from one of this website respected yoda EEs. https://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/class-d-power-amplifiers.124098/

Did you make the cutoff on the warranty change from 20 to 10?

No idea. However you probably don't want to power any of your front speakers with a cheap amp. I avoid junk. Often inexpensive means trouble which means expensive in the long run. I choose carefully and go for quality and that has been very economic for me over the long run. I hate trouble...

So you would buy class D if you were starting all over again and knowing everything you know. This is because of their SOTA measurement and power efficiency? Does it matter to you if the class D amp has a switching power supply or a linear power supply ? And the only reservation of class D is...

I need Bryston to make a 3ch-800w each channel Class D amp. For my front 3. They can also do 1ch-1000w class D as well. Price them around $5k-$10k. I'm down! :D

So types of amps: 1. Linear Amp + Switching Power supply (Benchmark, QSC Amp) 2. Linear Amp + Linear Power supply (ATI and Bryston Class A/B amp) 3. Switching Amp + Switching Power supply (Buckeye Class D amp) 4. Switching Amp + Linear Power Supply (ATI and Bryston Class D amp)

And there are linear amps + switching power supply (QSC DCA Series - Both Class A/B and Class H since 1998): https://www.qscaudio.com/resource-files/productresources/amp/dca/q_amp_dca_2ch_specs.pdf

Oh yeah, which ATI? Class A/B or Class D?

Math is on the side of Class D

Is this a Bryston design or a repackaged Axiom which I tested years ago: https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/axiom-audio-a1400-8

Or you could just buy some Trinnov Amps. Some of the best Class D on the market! ;)

I would like to try both lol ! ATI6002 2 channel Carver TFM-55x Parasound Outlaw 755 5 channel Carver 4.0 t Some that have always caught my eye .

Haha, have not dug that deep. I think Gene should test it out. I'm sure he can get his hands on a Trinnov and ATI class D amp. He's got connections. :)

An extra $1k for premium chassis and $20 year warranty is definitely worth it not to mention resale value.

You seem to have you heart set on a used fosi v3. So why ask here for advice? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/fosi-audio-v3-amplifier-review.45757/ This review by ASR recommended it as well. BTW it is NOT very powerful. It may not help you audibly at all.

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...

If one wants a black sheet-metal box with Class D modules in it, Buckeye makes very solid amps for about 1/6th the price...

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.

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

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.
