| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Golfnutz you are drawing conclusions based on way insubstantial evidence.There are in fact many high current Icepower based Class D amps out there and have been for years.

| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? The store I worked at in 1978 sold Cerwin Vega and many other well known quality brands of the day. People loved the muddy bass of the Cerwin Vega. I hated them...my least favorite. So there you go. | |
| I wonder why...... The people who care will want to choose their own cord. Pretty simple. | |
