Class D amps


I know Class D power amps are used in car audio applications. Why not for home audio power amps? Thanks.

Nordic87,

Please don't let the rudeness exhibited in some posts scare you away from the forums...plenty of good folks here willing to help. I don't use D-amps but I have a friend who replaced his older VTL tube amps with a great pair of D-amps he created from a kit (I think audiocircle.com has a fan site) and I gotta admit they give the VTL's a run for their money and certainly beat them in terms of speed and dynamics. Given the kits were sub $500, I think we'll see more great D-amps to come. I tried the Bel Canto M1000's but they were a bad match for my system.
If you look up the word rudeness in any dictionary you will not see any coreallary to "lack of awareness" or "naïveté ". A little too much time spent alone in the man cave, perhaps?

If we do not treat newcomers with helpful, patient kindness, this hobby deserves to die anyway.
Anyone know if there's a veteran tweaker interested in getting paid to build one of these beauties for a non-DYI'er? ;-)
