Ported speakers and class D amps

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.

If there is any energy below the port frequency the woofer can still flop around. I seriously doubt that damping factor has anything to do with it. I'm sure if you find a recording with low enough bass you'll still notice it.

It isn't so much that the amp can't control the woofer, it's that the suspension of the air, the springiness vanishes and the woofer's displacment, or motion goes ballistic.  Sometimes literally. :)

In general, Class D amps have fabulous bass. 

My Luxman A/B beats my last class D, but there was nothing wrong with the bass. :)

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!

I agree!

I think you’re throwing $$$/attention at the wrong problem.  What speakers are you using and where are they positioned.  My strong inclination is it’s time to finally look for better speakers but could be wrong.
