Class D amps,bang for your buck ones


Hello

First off,

I don't know much about class D amps, I did buy a Sonic Impact T-amp from Parts Express once to play with, I returned it because I don't have the speakers for it.

I did manage to hook it up to a pair of BIC Venturi horn speakers, and was floored with the clarity of the amp.

Those speakers had so many problems that I just didn't want to monkey with them, bad x-overs with busted pots,only sometimes could I get them to work right.

So, this leads me to my question.

Whats a high value class D amp with some hp/balls to drive normal speakers?

I'm looking for the Forte 4 of class D's, assuming (class D)is a tripath based/type amp.

Any suggestions or comments welcome.

I have an Accuphase pre and a minimax pre to use.

Thanks

What is your budget for a class D amp? Like all other amp types, class D amps range from less than $1000 to over $40,000. . . quite a range. Guido
Jtwrace, the ClassD amps look very interesting as they utilize some fairly novel technologies from TI. What will you be using for power supply. .. unless I'm wrong, they seem to require an external PS. Guido
