I’ll state once again as yet NO!! Class-D (and that also goes for my choice Class-D Technics SE-R1) will perform as good into a pair of Wilson Alexia and such, with their EPDR bass loadings like a hi current Gryphon Antillion etc etc can.Interestingly enough, Michael Fremer reviewed the PS Audio Stellar M1200 amps in Stereophile this month. Class D Ice power amps. His exact quote in respect to bass performance when driving his Wilson Audio Alexx is "The M1200s ability to couple with, control, and drive the woofers of my Wilson Alexx loudspeakers matched that of any amplifier I’ve had here." Read that again, because he has had some pretty heavy hitters in that room driving those speakers. When he went to grade the individual aspects of the amplifiers performance he rated the bottom end as A+. When you read the review, you can tell he is pretty impressed with these $6000 a pair amps. The "whole product protection mode’’ thing is particularly interesting when the name of the product HE (George) builds is attached to every single post he makes here. Product promotion (or protection) at its finest more than 8000 times here.
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
