@dchang05 I think some people are threatened by Class D for some strange reason. I have a nicer Class A/B amp than your average 'audiophile' in an Ayre VX-5 Twenty. I also have a 7-channel Class D amp (utilizing Pascal modules) for my integrated HT setup. Just for the hell of it, I hooked up the Class D to my mains. And the difference was less than you would think. No harshness, plenty of 'musicality', tight bass and extremely clean midrange. I listened for several hours this past Holiday weekend and my ears weren't bleeding.
High end Class D amps?
Just an observation and a question. Are there 'high end' Class D amps out there that are just as good as Class A, A/B amps? I realize that's a sensitive question to some and I mean no disrespect---but whenever I see others' hifi systems on social media, all of the amps are A or A/B. There's always Pass, McIntosh, Moon, Luxman, Accuphase, etc. Where are the Class Ds? For folks out there that want more power for less efficient speakers and can't afford the uber expensive Class As, A/Bs, what is there to choose from that's close to those brands? Thanks
