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

You should put AGD on your list as well. One nice thing about them in addition to sound is that they are user upgradeable when new tech innovations and improvements come out.

The Atma-Sphere Class D are the best I’ve encountered. I’m a dealer so happy to answer any questions.

I realize you did not ask for other suggestions but if you have not done so yet you should also consider in addition to AGD, Orchard Audio. https://orchardaudio.com/shop/starkrimson-mono-ultra-premium/

AGD, Gold Note, Orchard (meh for me), Jeff Roland, Naim. Mola Mola.

Don’t let the price fool you but Class D Audio amps are in same category. 
 

I heard the Atmasphere amps at CAF a while back and they were wonderful. But must qualify that was with the usual Classic Audio high efficiency speakers. Kef Blades are much different.   So I would expect them to work well but not sure.   
 

I use the Class D Audio amp with kef ls50 metas and that combo is hard to beat within its limits imposed by the small KEFs.   Blades are a different beast.  The Class D audio amp is also the best I have ever paired with my big Ohm F5s, which are more in the class of KEF Blades.
