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

It does seem the Mola Molas were overhyped, or the reviewers connected them to more efficient speakers, proper impedance matched preamps... but in the real world, they are likely cabled with impedance mismatched preamps, or hard to drive speakers, or...


I have used quite a few different Mfgs class D amps over a decade, none came close to the EVS1200 of TweakAudio.com. based on dual mono IcePower AS1200 modules that he then sprinkles decades of moding know how pixie dust. Needless to say, they are powerful, especially with my 96dB Emerald Physics Open Baffle 3.4s + 2 SVS powered subs.


Unfortunately (for the rest) he is no longer making the EVS1200. PS Audio has the M1200s with tube buffer, but none of EVS’s magic and a hefty $6000 price tag, though it's a pittance compared to the Molas. Im not suggesting the M1200s are superior, but for rockers, probably. Last night I listened to the MoFi SACD of Dire Straits Love Over Gold. The SVS 12" subs were the weak link

gFi it's shocking that you don't know the difference between your and you're/you are

your- your persistence is laughable


you're-  you're ignorant regarding class D facts

hth
first time since gFis incessant arguing against reason or fact that he finally understood when to use your and you're

That's progress, a baby step, but progress
come on guys, what do you expect, gFi still can manage knowing when you use 'your' and you're Sigh!
Having owned a EVS1200 for over a year now, and having made a few component and cable upgrades, most notable to date, I replaced my Emerald Physics KCIIs (with Wire World OCC wire and Clarity cap upgrades as new) with EP 3.4s (also with Wire World OCC wire and Clarity cap upgrades) which I played without adding 2 SVS powered subs until about a month ago. I feel sorry for those who didn't jump on this amp, as he has stopped making them.


Both Absolute Sound and Stereophile have glowingly reviewed the PS Audio M1200s (same IcePower modules, but stock). I am confident that the EVS 1200 would stand out against them for barely 1/3 the money
