@juanmanuelfangioii I have sold off my big heavy class AB amps. Besides the tube integrateds I have, I have now amassed a bench of Class D amps I am happy with. These include the AGD Audion monoblocks, and a pair of Jeff Rowland Model 125 amps that I run in bridged mode. Both are great. I am particularly impressed with the soundstage with the AGD Audions. IMO, Class D has arrived. Besides the sound, I also enjoy them being light weight. If you want to go more budget you can look at the Mytek Brooklyn Amp+ and the Orchard Audio GaN monoblocks. But I personally am not aware of any Class D integrateds amps. But I would be interested to learn of some.
Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations.
Just curious to peoples experiences with current batch of Class D Integrated Amps available today.
I have been unimpressed with the offerings from NAD and find the Technics model's lack soul.
Trying to stay under $5,000.00
Thank you for any insight, recommendations.

@orchardaudio good to know! |
Back during the 2021 Holiday Season ASR came out with a review which found that the power output on the Starke Sound AD4-320 was far below the stated company specs for that amp. To my knowledge, Starke never responded to the ASR review with any data or measurements contesting the ASR findings. They had some units returned and refunded. They have pulled this amp from their lineup if you look at their website. |
