| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load @erik_squires I've never seen you pass an opportunity to tell some one who says they like class D why they should not. If there is anything you are passionate about here it seems to be correcting people who like Class D. And you never 'pass an opp... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load @viber6 - no need to get defensive about your Mytek Brooklyn amp. No where did I mention anything about quality of sound from any amp. My comments were specific to mcreyn's question to George.I would also like to add, my post has everything to do ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load @mcreyn - "George, still waiting for you to demonstrate how an amp putting out 200 watts at 2 ohms is flowing more current than one putting out 400 watts at 2 ohms."I'm pretty sure this is George's point. This is from the Pass Labs website - https... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @tweak1, @ricevs Best of luck to both of you. It sounds like you’re both in a good place with these amps, and that’s all that matters. As @tweak1 says, a real steal for only $2200. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? First of all, there's no difference between 2 x 1200AS1, and 1 1200AS2. I had 2 x 1200AS2 and 2 didn't sound better than 1. Just a waste of money. The $300 module sounds the same as 2 modules for $500.Secondly, I tried many of the tweaks you menti... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @tweak1 - I mentioned the EVS 1200 a few posts back. I started a thread. It's really amazing , but at $2200, it's like stealing.Are you serious? Do you actually know how much those low priced modules cost? Do you have any idea what the primary mar... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load OP is asking about Class D amps rated for 2ohms. One of the suggested amps (1200AS1/2) is rated at 2.7ohms. This module also has a clipping indicator built into the controller. It would make sense to me that the clipping indicator was active to se... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load +1 George"I know someone using the Icepower IceEdge modules on his Thiel CS3.7's and he can blast it all he wants. I have tested the IceEdge module to do 1000 watts at 2 ohms."It was posts like this that sucked me into thinking these amps (Icepow... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load @ricevs - "I know someone using the Icepower IceEdge modules on his Thiel CS3.7's and he can blast it all he wants."CS3.7 impedance has been measured at 2.4 - 2.8 ohms through most of the frequency range by Stereophile.Icepower 1200AS1/2 has an m... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @klh007 Yes, I've read Phil's comments on the various forums - nice guy!And I agree with everything you've mentioned in your post.The Watt/Puppies go down to 1.8ohms vs 2.4 - 2.8 ohm for the Thiels. So they are a bit harder to drive.I'm not sure c... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @tweak1 OK, 20-25 times, but it sure seems like 100.Please tell me what I'm confused about? I'm basing my comments on actually owning 2 of the Icepower 1200as2 amps. The only conclusion I've said was that you'd be selling your amp within a year. I... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @mapman Right, $300 for the module and maybe $300 in parts to put it together. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Seriously tweak? Do you really think 2 1200as1 are any different than 2 1200as2's? As for difficult loads, you'll only know if you have inefficient speakers. In my system, it was a flat wall of sound with no dynamics at all. How many times can a p... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @mapman I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m only talking about my own personal experience, which matched what Georgehifi was saying. I’m sure it’s not just limited to the Icepower modules, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great class D amps (even ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @tweak1 You must have mentioned the EVS amp 100 times in all your posts so far. For someone with 40+ years experience, you sure have a lot to say about something that you never heard. You accuse others of being trolls, and basically that's all I s... |
