Interesting thread, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Is there any word of GaN-based amplifiers hitting the pro-audio market (Crown, RAM, Powersoft), or even musical instrument amps? Assuming tradeoffs in sound quality with increased power capability, are current GaN modules scalable to achieve 1,000-10,000W+ for pro-audio use?
LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier
Just got mine last week. After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier. There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like. The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous. Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good. I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.
This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....
