Class D


Been thinking of trying a D amp to reduce clutter. Most that I see are not rated at 2 ohms.  My PSB Stratus gold's will drop to 3 ohms or lower at some frequencies. So my question is will these types of amps handle this impedance ?
Thanks in advance. Chris

Poor George.

If Class D was as bad as George ever claimed, he wouldn't have to be in every single Class D thread.  He's in every thread because class D is seriously good and it bothers him greatly.

Otherwise, we'd all hear it.  We would all know it.  We'd listen for 30 seconds and shudder. 

Don't know what he is trying to achieve jumping on all the Class D threads and making a mess

He just told me this was a rumor.  Hahah.

You are the rumour spreader, not once have I said Class-D is bad,


Sorry, we are all going to go and giggle for hours. And hours.  And hours. 

Gotta say, the energy and vitality George brings to discussions about Class D makes it seem rather personal.  As if Class D killed his dog, and he is John Wick.

If Class D was even 10% as bad as he makes it out to be it would be a non-issue.  Class D would be dead and none of us would listen to it, and no one would need to bash it. It would be it's own worst enemy, and attract flies and locusts whenever anyone turned a Class D amp on.

But yet, here we are.
Hi, has this conversation degenerated to fake data, or specifications that have no bearing on actual listening experience?

If so, I'm in!

Hi Zappas,

I've used IcePower based Class D with Focal Profiles which drop to a little under 3 Ohms.  They performed just as well as my Parasound A23s in the bass. Maybe better.

Best,
