D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
I noticed on B&O's ICE power website that they are in need of engineers and are taking job applications. I found out this morning that the new Pasquale Class-D amps that Jeff Rowland will be using are designed by former B&O engineers.

True..but John Stronczer at Bel canto does extensive mods and upgrades to correct that problem. As a stock amp, the problem is their and can only be corrected with additional filters and shielding. The newer stock designs from Abletec and Hypex do...

It appears that B&O has not moved beyond pulse width modulation, which is the area that amp enigineers have focused on in recent years claiming that PWM has hit its limit regarding the problems with PWM such as feedback and noise in the upper ...

Interesting Henry..I noticed your Fire preamp has a very low output impedance of 20 ohms, which matches perfectly with your amps. Never seen a Preamp with an output impedance that low. 
Best Integrated, period.
Just spoke to the Jeff Rowland Group. They confirmed their new integrated amp will be released this April and will be called the Continuum Series Two, and not the Continnum 500.Specs are not available but Brandon at Rowland mentioned last year it ...

How old is "Too old for" drivers
If you notice ivy vine's and weed's growing out of the driver mounting ring's and moth's flying in and out that's not a good sign. Seriously, driver's made since the eightie's will last at least twenty year's or longer due to better sealing, bette...

The new Coda TS. Believe its around $6500.00 Killer amp for the money. Puts out 800 watts into 4 ohms. Weighs 63 pounds. Warm, relaxed and powerful. 
Bookshelf Speakers; Ported vs. Acoustic Suspension
Rjm0925..I already mentioned on another thread about the remarkable "CLUE" bookshelf speaker from Sjofn HiFi in Seattle. Its a ported speaker and the port is in the front and not the rear so you can put the speaker against the wall. For its size, ... 
Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
Harbeth designs their speakers using a method that was very common in the 1950's and 60's which was pioneered by AR, KLH and Advent. They adjust the wood cabinet to have a direct effect on the drivers to create a sonic character that some would co...

Henry..I thoroughly read through your site last night and all the reviews. I noticed you amps have an input impedance of only 8000 ohms. Wow thats low! Never seen an amp below 10K ohms. Curious as to why you don't adjust the input stage to raise t...
