Interesting comment by Gene Delasrio in his review of LBM speakers....... "Class-A/B may not be quite as efficient as class-D, but it is more reliable on the whole, and with such a massive heatsink, it looks like a unit that was built to last."

I don't see an issue with the aforementioned amp modules for any of Focal's offerings. Their measurements have no issues with 2 ohm loads. I'm not a huge fan of Focal's design implementations but these amps will do fine. Unless you want to put some extra money into a couple of AB amps on the...

Very nice setup, your front 3 speakers surely love current! They will do well with Bruno's class D amps. By the way, Bruno is main guy in the design/development of both the Hypex and Purifi modules, here's a good article that he and Gene worked together on a few years ago, don't let anyone...

There are plenty of AMPs available in the US available for well below your max budget, AB, AB hybrids, G, H, and Class D. You definitely want to make sure that your amp has failed and not another component or speaker so you can appropriate money correctly. If all 3 channels developed the same...

...the boards are now made by robots using surface mount components, again installed by robots. The the third issue is that these ubiquitous class D amps, are very complicated and a nightmare to work on, even under the best of situations. So, that is why I have so much vintage equipment, as it...

Thanks for the input more knowledge and choices are always better... Enjoy!

Translation...........'I'm getting old and no longer give a $hit' , just sit back and enjoy the music

-Interesting question. It really comes down to what one user can afford.. If it was choice then it would be a European brand. Most American brands are ove priced rubbish, and with the exchange rates are completely out of anyone' thinking. Consider the fact that the american price has to...

If I would buy a new amplifier then a good class D is what I most likely would buy, and as @everettT wrote low heat generation is important to me as well. Also note that an efficient power supply is very important as well as most of the time the amplifier will output low power (1-5 watt or so)...

...some technical reviews that included bench test measurements, but I found none on the internet. The March Audio amps (seems to be the only class D Bruno Putrzey designed amps build in Australia) is preferred mainly because it is class D, that I think is the trend, sooner or later they will...

...it better be the cat's meow, lol. While they measure "well", better hope one has a different brand of preamp (at this time). It would take a long time blowing up some of the best class D offerings before those amps make sense, and I come from the heavy boutique brands going back to the late '70s.

I don't dispute that the AB amps are most likely excellent, but they are still inefficient and heat generating amps with the best class D amps performing better (not audibly, likely).

I'm a big fan of the Marantz AV10 plus an ATI amp. The new Class D models are great, and their AB amplifiers are second to none. They also have a 7 year warranty. My clients love them. Here's a link to the ATI website. https://www.ati-amp.com/

...replacement for the 7015. Am really not happy with this the sales guy from where I purchased it tried to bluff me claming the 7015 was a class D amplifier (it's class AB) and as the Cinema 50 is class AB it has more power, the guy must think I am thick, I pointed out to him it was more to do...

Forgot about those monoprice amps, yeah OP those are also solid choice. Just a note, many on AH like those Buckeye amps solid also. They are class D. Very good spec's gobs of power plus weigh a lot less. But cost is about the same as class A/B amps..

...not rated for 2 ohms nominal loads. Anyway, if you are interested, you can browse through the thread linked below, a poll was included: Class D power amplifiers | Audioholics Home Theater Forums The buckeyeamp is budget friendly, if you don't mind spending more, take a look of the Apollon...

Thanks Peng You wrote: Bryston amps, at least the class AB type such as the 4B series, even the primitive 4B, while not rated for below 4 ohms nominal speakers, I had an 8B bridged 2 by 400 watts. It was not happy. Light up red and even clipped out. I have (downstairs setup) 2 svs mixed...

Get those amps service!!! Why go Class D?! You'll lose that (warm) TFM sound! No way I'd go Class D!! Buckeye buckaroo whatever.. Class D? Yuk!!! :p;):)

...sound. As for Pioneer I have owed 2 before I got my first Marantz and have stuck with them ever since, I was given a Pioneer SC-LX57-S just before I purchased the 7015, for the life of me I could not get the sound anywhere like what I wanted I wonder now was it because it is a class D amplifier.
