I am two weeks in with a Buckeye 8x500 ncore hypex class D and I absolutely love everything about it. It runs cool even after hours of use, if you need to move it you could carry it under one arm, the amount of power is a gamechanger for me because I moved up significantly. My system sounds significantly better to me, and that is all that matters. I also appreciate not paying thousands for a pretty case, I get if you are going to display it in a listening room but for a theater application it is perfect. The weight and the heat might not matter to most but I appreciate never worrying about the amp running hot.
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
I heard a class D amp the other day (Lyngdorf) and it sounded really good. I liked the minimalism of it also. But, I need to own a amp for a couple of months to really know if I like it or not. I don't like room correction ether, so I just liked the sound without that.
Curious, has anyone ever switched from a class AB or class A amp to a class D amp? If so, did you regret it? Was it a downgrade in sound? Or was it upgrade in sound?
