Class D is just Dandy!


I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

I love my little Benchmark AHB2 amps. They are A/B with class H rails but minimize the distortion to pre-amp levels using feed forward error correction. Ultra small and fast switching power supplies that move the switching out of the range of human hearing. There are a lot of exciting innovations on these. They whip around my Maggies like nobody's business, are crystal clear and are dead quiet even at concert volumes. I don't have to turn them off like my Pass amp. . .

They have some good videos and articles speaking to their designs if anyone is interested.
