My favourite amps have always been Class D. They can get loud, have solid punchy bass and also have the snap in the highs. One of my favourite 'dead as a doornail' amps is the Marshall Woburn in my shop. You can put your ear right next to it on standby and hear absolutely nothing at all. And when it's turned up you can hear it all the way down the street.
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!

@mbrusso What kind of speakers do you normally listen with? |
Hi. I am typically running a set of Paradigm studios v3s - but my main system is down and being sold - The Marshall is a completely self contained bluetooth speaker- And certainly not "audiophile" but for the $700 I spent on it years ago- it always seems to make me happy . I love the NAD sound and looking at upgrading my home system shortly to some of the masters components. |
Love my PSAudio M1200 class D hybrid monoblocks. I have and have previously owned PassLabs. Canary Tube monoblocks, PSAudio BHK 300 monoblocks, Parasound JC1 monoblacks Audio Van Alstine FetValve hybrids and LSA Voyager GAN classD amps. I have listened to a wide pallet of exceptional amps. The PSAudio M1200s are at the top of the heap. |
Jaymark - thanks for keeping the class d subject alive - albeit with a faint pulse - not sure why people arent bowing down to class d - they did for a while - but now you barely hear anything My arcam power amplifier sounds wonderful - its suppose to be class a up to 50 watts. But as with these types of amps there is always a syrupy nature as well to sound. Class D doesnt have that Class d to my ears is very clear and precise and correct - it still could use a touch of something - instead of being so damn neutral. Im currently listening to a class d amp (peachtree gan) and it sounds very impeccable with good rhythm and timing - Thanks for keeping the flame lit - |
