CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS

@twoleftears

"If anybody could get both amps in the same room at the same time, then they would really have my attention."

Indeed!

I would also add the LSA Voyager 350 @ 3+ times the wattage but has an MSRP of $3000, though usually available for $2500

When you wrote this  "GaN is state of the art--and not the generic stuff being put out by Peachtree and LSA."  were you referring to LSA/Peachtree's NON GaN products, but not their GaN products?

I am confident that Ralph's GaN amps will be/are awesome.

I just wrote this on another thread: FWIW: My experience with class D goes back to PS audio GCC 250, which I still use in my video system, but in my 2 channel audio Ive had several W4S, Emerald Physics 100.2SEs, Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (excellent sound but I need a lot power in my room), PSA M700s (also soundd nice), EVS 1200 which I raved about for a year UNTIL it was replaced with a LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp. The Voyager is ~ half the power of the EVS, and yet sounds twice as room filling. From this experience IMO, GaN is so superior (at lease when done right) to conventional class D that it SHOULD have a separate designation. Switching Speed is the juice

+1 for tubeguy and phantum

Having owned many class D over the last ~ 5 years, none compared to my EVS 1200 (dual AS1200 IcePower modules, then sprinkled with Rics pixie dust), which I raved about, until I hooked up the Voyager GaN 350. The Voyager is ~ half the power, but easily twice the authority

FYI: I love my GaN amp, which is on 24/7 as is the rest of my system, but when not played > 12 hours, it sounds edgy/hard/glass-like. It takes a good 30 minutes of play time to smooth out.

@ihcho

I have owned several class D amps of 2-3+ times the power (including the EVS 1200, based on dual AS 1200 modules) of my LSA Voyager GaN 350, pushing Emerald Physics 3.4 open baffle @ ~ 97dB, but it has considerably more umph than any of them. So much for wpc. Time to replace inefficient speakers
