I have replaced a pass lab 150.5 , Bryston 14bsst and adcom 5800 that powered my 5.2 system with all class d. Not only does the change sound better but no heat problems and using less electricity. Much happier with smaller footprint an not having to move 75lb slabs makes moving things around a snap. I have hypex n core 400 mono blocks for surrounds a EVS 1200 for mains and a dual hypex nc502 amp bridged for the dual subs. A lot more juice for a lot less money that in my opinion sounds better.
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
