Amplifier class is just that. A different topology and implementation.
Doesn't correlate with sound quality at all and yes I use Class D.
Remember Class is moniker for different topology. It is not a grading system
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?

Agree, much of the time. Since Class D is relatively new and the kinks are still getting worked out, I think there is some correlation to sound quality – but as you point out, not because of the topology, per se. If someone said to you, "You can can have one free amplifier worth $1000 and we won't tell you which brand or topology it is," what would you choose to ensure the best possible sonic outcome? At $1000, I'd choose Class A/B. |
