Warm Class D for horns?


Hello to all,

Recently  was researching about the evolution of class d amplifiers, for what I understood the most advances around are the Hypex N Core, ICE, Pascal, and appears that also some manufacturers are developing their own Class D amps, like Spec from japan for example and Devialet from France for example..

I understood this right? This is what is happening?

The whole point of make evolving the Class D amplification is to make they sound more warm?

I'm panning to build a 3 way loudspeakers, radial horn, super horn tweeter, and woofer, at first I was considering just use Class D for the 12" woofer, but what about Class D amp for the horns and super tweeter, anyone using?

Let's talk about this, would like to know more how Class D evolved over the years and who are the manufacturers that are on the vanguard fo design of this amplification topology...

Oh.. Class D analog, Class D digital... never found a consensus, if Class D can be analog to..

Thanks!

I have never heard one but read that the Bel Canto amps are on the warmer side. Maybe a pair of Hypex NCore NC500 based Bel Canto REF600M would work for you.

"Of three recent amps of my experience, the REF600M was the warmest (...)"

"In timbral neutrality I’d place the REF600M on the darker, richer side of the razor’s edge, primarily due to its more nuanced lower midrange."
