Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT

Stay away class (D)ull
by all means, those speakers are amazing, and need some power, to sound their best.

 What amps are you using that have 700W p/ch”?
whta is your current rack?

 Spinner, amps, preamp, etc......


 if u have a killer set of monos, or a great stereo amp, do NOT, lose them.

use them!!

Stay away from Class-D into 2ohms with these speakers

Don’t listen to the watt junkies, you can’t make up current ability with watts, to drive hard to drive speakers with, if you could we’d all own these $429 Behringer 3000watt Class-D’s

The 25watt!!!!! Mark Levinson ML2 monoblocks would eat those 3000w Behringers alive to a given volume level on your ML Motion 60XT’s

Thanks for the responses! I definitely want the headroom to power these speakers and potentially future power hungry speakers. I saw one review of the Motion60s and they used a Sunfire 300 and Silver seven so I think that basically shows higher power is fine. I just don’t understand why the power range hahaI was looking at Parasound A21s previously but I’ve been doing a lot of research on the Hypex class D and they are supposed to be phenomenal. Class D efficiency with class A sound. Read the reviews if you don’t believe me. These are what is used in high end Mola Mola, ATI and NAD amps. The problem with the Crowns and Behringers is that their power is not very clean and they have fans which are a turn off. The NC1200 almost doubles down in 4ohm and 2ohm. The THD plots are impressive.

theres also the Purifi amp which I can find for almost the same price. Same designer who worked for Hypex.

Class d efficiency w class a sound is what the reviewers are paid to say when they are given free gear, and a 15K$ check for writing 4 pages on their amps.

media- I don’t trust any!

 Let your ears make the choice.

@chobes That Purifi is a module, not a complete amplifier so unless you are planning to order it and build your own amp, your only Purifi option on the market at this point is the new NAD M33 (if it's even available yet). As far as Class D, perhaps the previous comments were true at one time in the past but I don't find them accurate with modern designs. I have a 250wpc Musical Fidelity A308cr that outputs 72 amps of current. It was replaced by a Class D Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 that is 200wpc and listed as 40 amps max continuous current. Just like in any other Class, there are many different designs of Class D amps. BTW the Parasound Hint 6 suggested above is 45 amps "peak," not continuous. I'm not much of a specs hound anyway but I guess my point is, I wouldn't abandon your ideas. Many places allow you to return so trust your ears not the wattage or current specs and don't discount Class D off-hand.
