Class D has improved dramatically. Check out "D Sonics". Great reviews online. On a whim I purchased their top monoblocks 3Ma-1500. Less than $3K new. On my Sonus Faber Guarneri's they held their own vs my McIntosh MC601's at 1/5 of the cost, and drive my Maggies better than anything I've tried....including the Mc's, Primare and Bryston. I gave up trying to unseat them. Great amps.....period.
Class D for a Tube Lover
First, I'm sure this has been asked many times but searching the subject wasn't too helpful to me.
So apologies in advance.
I enjoy tubed electronics and class A amps, which tend to be a bit warm. My current Cary 805s warm my small (12x16) music room even in the cool/cold of winter. I've got other amps that don't produce much heat, but am looking for something that produces no heat. Living in a home with no central AC the room gets uncomfortably hot during the summer months.
So...I'd like to try some Class D amps. Stereo or mono is just fine. And my speakers aren't difficult to drive so I don't need a thousand watts. But if that thousand watt amp sounds great, I'm not adverse to that, either.
I'd like to keep the price under 2k used.
Please help.
Thanks.
