Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis

Do you have any future plans to show your Class D amps paired up with speakers a bit larger and more demanding than Fritz' little gems?

@decooney We showed with the Caladan open baffle speakers at AXPONA last year. We're not sure what the next show we will do yet.

1. Smoother sound, a little more texture

2. Better separation of instruments. Oddly closer to tube in a way

3. New layering is present I do not recall hearing prior

4. More to the bottom end it seems, not imagining this

5. Weighs less now, easier to lift - just kidding, lol.

@decooney It seems the above, which seems important to you, is your answer. But that doesn't come from the class of operation so much as whether the amp is competent. As an example there are class D amps out there now that easily challenge the best of what class A has to offer.

@decooney Isn't it more about the sound rather than the class of operation?

Any idea what happened there?

@antigrunge2 Sure- its the result of a vendetta. Take a look: https://www.audioasylum.com/forums/critics/messages/9/99823.html

With established, respectable reviewers you get something different (scroll down for the reviews).  IMO any serious audiophile should avoid 10Audio if they don't want to waste their time; this has been true the last 25 years.

atmasphere, name or show me a link for three to consider, I am not against the technology but so far none really seem worthy to pursue.  I did contact one mfg. recently on their brand new product... no response

@sayas If you want something that has the best of what class A has to offer I can think of three just off the top of my head

AGD

Orchard Audio

And ours (as if you didn't expect that).

GaNFETs have been around well over ten years at this point.

Finally, were I to make a change to D it would make sense to have speakers that were developed with the technology...

I run my class D amps on horn speakers made by Classic Audio Loudspeakers. They are intended for low power class A tube amps but work fine with the class Ds. I don't think you need to have a speaker as you describe; if it works with a class A amp it will work with class D too.

@sayas Why do you want class A? If its for sound quality, there are class D amps now that are every bit the equal of class A.
