Class d amplification


Anyone have any experience, comments, recommendations on either Atmasphere class d or Mytek manhattan class d . Would also consider bi-amping. Speakers would be KEF blade1 meta or Joseph Pearl Graphene.  Large room, 15 x20x10

 

thanks

The KEF has a sensitivity rating per speaker of 86.8 dB@2.83V/1m

a minimum impedance modulus of 3.3 Ohms at 40Hz, 150Hz so they're gonna be current hungry speakers.

so you need a high current amp that can get to sustained 80dB average SPL from your seated position (assuming 10ft from the speakers) and instantaneous transient peaks of roughly 100dB.

Plugging that into this room calculator with an amp of power delivery of 700 Watts means we get to 105.6dB at your seated position.

This is the monoblock in question - Hypex NC1200 Premium Monoblock Amplifier Apollon PNC 1200

It does 1200W into 2 Ohm, 700W into 4 Ohm and 400W into 8 ohm.

 

get two @digitaljoseph
