Ported speakers and class D amps


Been using a pair of 8" 3 way ported bookshelf speakers for 20 years. They are tuned to 34hz. They have always had enough bass, but it has been a little loose. Recently bought a PS Audio S300 class D amp and the bass control is a considerable improvement. Just finished an Orchard Audio Stereo Ultra class D amp tour. Even more woofer control.

When notes drops below the tuning frequency the port can't control the woofer. Does the class D, super high damping factor, mean this isn't as big a problem? I'm hearing bass extension and control that I'd never though possible.

Thanks,

What amp are these class d amps going up against? It probably doesn’t matter your ps300 is awesome…maybe just accept that? Mine replaced a Musical reference tube amp!
