Class D is just Dandy!

I'm trying to get a hold of a pair of Bel Canto Ref 600s to compare to my Jeff Rowland 625 S2. May be time for a change. I'm curious to hear if they mate well with the Corus preamp.

I purchased a ATI AT523NC 3-channel amplifier to drive my center and rear speakers. I will have it tomorrow and post comments shortly.

I received my ATI Class D 3-channel amp. Right out the box it's a definite improvement over the Marantz SR5011 and Marantz MM7055 I had. I'm using it to drive my center and rear channel. The power and clarity is just what I wanted. Now if I could figure out how to reduce the white noise between my Marantz AV 7702 and Corus preamp when in HT bypass. I thought I had it reduced with a power cord with the SR5011, but with the current 7702 it's bad. I'll start a new post or revive my old post.

jrunr,

I don't know if you were addressing your comments to me or not. I have a AT523NC 3-channel Amplifier (200W RMS per channel). I only use it to power my center and rear channels in a 5.1 surround sound system. I simply love it. It's so much better than the Marantz SR5011 and the Marantz MM7055. It's provides more than enough power to all channels. It's very detailed and a relatively small amplifier.

rhale64,
I'm a 2-channel person that found a way to incorporate surround sound without degrading my 2-channel. I use a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier for my front speakers. Even if the ATI sounds as good as the 625 S2, I would degrade the sound going from a dedicated 2-channel preamp to a AV preamp.
