Class D Amplification Announcement


After 60 some odd years of disappointment, Class D has finally arrived. As per The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin, the Borrenson-designed Aavik P-580 amp “is the first Class D amplifier I can recommend without the usual reservations. …the P-580 does not have the usual digital-like upper-mid/lower-treble glare or brick wall-like top-octave cut-off that Class D amps of the past have evinced.”

Past designers of Class D and audiophiles, rejoice; Michael Borrenson has finally realized the potential of Class D.

I heard the Aavik systems at the Long Beach audio show a couple months ago... It was fantastic, but the amp alone is $30k+, it better sound incredible ...

A little too "clean" and sterile maybe, but very powerful, tight, clear... Was it the most amazing thing I've heard, no.. my CI audio class D amps sound awesome, are these 10X better, no way, not even close

They made the speakers, cables, dac, streamer, preamp which were all super expensive and high end... It's amazing stuff with all kinds of crazy engineering, but not magical for the few tracks I heard
