An afterthought, per the other posts on VERITAS versus the new Merrill Audio proprietary designed ELEMENT 118 Power amplifiers, the new ELEMENT 118 is, IMHO, about an order of improvement over the VERITAS Monoblocks. The ELEMENT 118 has the delica...

@ricevs Thank you for looking. The ELEMENT 114 has not been priced yet. It is expected to be between $9k and $12k. We are trying to bring it in as low as possible. The ELEMENT 114 will be a stereo unit which results in a little less stage. The ELE...

Gentlemen,If I may provide a designers perspective. I don't want to wade into a he said, she said. I am just providing my design experience.Class D is going through a maturation stage and developing fast. The prior lack of experience in higher fre... 
Class D is just Dandy!
@erik_squires However as with all transistors, there is a lag between the command to switch and the actual full switch. This is call the dead time. This has been reduced over the years with faster transistors and also limited with feedback. But it...
