Anyone using a Class D amp w/ribbon tweeters?

Should sound great with any modern good quality Class D amp. Try it and see.

I’m using Class D with top-end AMTs, no problem at all, though technically not ribbons. 

If you are using a true-ribbon they tend to have transformers, I'd be curious to know how the Class D work with those. AMTs are nearly purely resistive, so I may have better luck. :) 

Best,

Thx, I’ve only heard of high marks for the bel canto Ref600 Monoblocks. And I have read that with each generational evolution with Class D, that we’re getting about a 10% jump in SQ pretty much across the boards, but particularly in improving the high end sibilance and listener fatigue. Apparently we are in the 3rd generation now (?). 

I don’t hear top end sibilance on either the NC500 or 1200as  based amps nor on the proprietary modules from Nuprime. You can try the first two types for right around $1000 new. Just like the other types all Class D implementations are not the same or equal.

Yeah we’re getting close to me selling my hot, energy sucking, boat anchors.

When future technology allows the switching frequency of Class-D to be taken from 600-800-khz to around 2-3mhz so the output filters can do their jobs properly. This is day the day my boat anchors will become obsolete.

Technics with their $20k usd SE-R1 is on the right path with a switching frequency of 1.5mhz using the new limited gallium-nitride (GaN) semi conductors, who’s designers were the same guys who invented the Power Mosfet

Here’s what one reviewer said about the SE-R1
" Listening to tracks that we’ve heard 100s of times — and on excellent systems at that — is now a revelation of once hidden nuance and detail. Not only are we hearing things we’d never heard before, we’re hearing it in a way we’ve never heard it before. A music system that sounds like a live performance is a tough goal to attain, but Technics’ flagship nails it."

I don't know if this is real or a hoax, but there was one actually for sale on Audiogon
