It depends, but when someone like Ralph @atmasphere builds a GaN amp it’s a pretty strong indicator it’s a legit technology. As always, it comes down to personal preferences. I’ve heard Class A/B amps sound sterile and Class D amps sound utterly musical, so again it depends. Why are you so against room correction? I heard Lyngdorf’s RC and it was pretty awesome.
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?
