ATI, PS Audio, Emotiva, Nord, etc. all offer Class-D amps from Hypex or ICE for well below $5K.
Class D amps
I'm looking at a Rowland continuum and initial thought Wow JR for less than $10k then I start reading class D amp design and there's several other brands that use class D and charge as if. Is the hi end trying to keep their niche regardless? I was so wrong when manufacturing went to china I hoped the production savings would trickle down to us, silly me. How long before the big name companies start charging 6 figures for class D which as it evolves will get better and cheaper at the same time. Does anybody see these guys charging proportionate to cost or will they still do what that do?
