Music with differences between class A and class D amplifiers
Hey Jllu you just discovered the secret to audiophillia! If amps are operating within their parameters and not clipping and have same low distortion they sound basically the same. Don't be fooled into buying expensive amps put the money into your room and speakers where there is a rewarding difference. And don't get me started on cables. Lol |
Although I have never used a class D amplifier I suspect that well engineered recordings of classical solo piano music, that contain a lot of high speed "transients," would be good choices for this purpose. You would particularly look for how well notes in the treble region are reproduced, in terms of definition and "clean" transient response. Here is an example of the kind of music I am referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj1xQUUJ94U Happy holidays! Regards, -- Al |
jllu As good as the Aegir is, it stll only 20watts, and that's a bit light on for the 84db efficiency of the LS50’s. I would prefer to see a 50w amp up them, especially with this comment The electrical phase angle is generally mild, but the combination of 5.3 ohms and –41° at 135Hz, a frequency where music often has high energy, will make the speaker work at its best with a good, 4 ohm–rated amplifier.Unless your in a small room near field, then it should be fine.
