| Class D audio vs James Romeyn portlandlay, I think you're right on all counts. I don't have a need for this type of system and don't completely understand how it functions. I think you locate the amp, dac, computer file storage and cd ripper sections in the same room as... | |
| Class D audio vs James Romeyn portlanlay, The Bluesound Powernode 2 is a multi-room audio system that is a separate product and category than the class D power amps that bakalovb posted about. I believe it’s a higher end version of multi-room systems like Sonos. Bluesound clai... | |
| Class A/B Home THeater Receivers jrunr, Your speakers are fairly inefficient (86 db) so they likely require fairly significant power (I figure at least 50 watts/ch but the higher the better) to sound their best Their nominal impedance is 6 ohms but dip down to 4 ohms at cert... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp " I had never heard of Classdaudio. I just looked at their website.Certainly something to consider." petrela, The good news is that classDaudio is only one of many companies offering very good class D amps. My initial very good experie... | |
| Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily? atmasphere, Thanks for your expert validation that tube pre-amps cause no harm to ss amps. | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp " Thanks for your input. Honestly I am a little skeptical about class D. I don't really have a reason to be though." petrela, Very normal and healthy to be skeptical. I was initially skeptical, too. About 3 yrs ago, my older ... | |
| stats lynno, Just a clarification: Martin Logan and Sound Lab are electrostatics, Apogees are planar type speakers similar to Magnepans. Sorry, how they compare I'll leave to those with more experience than I have with the 3 brands. | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp petrela, I think you need to make a distinction between the older tube and class A amps and the older class A/B amps. Good quality older tube and class A amps would likely offer the best bargains. These amps offer great sound quality... | |
| Class D audio vs James Romeyn bakalovb, My first class D amp was a classDaudio SDS-440-CS stereo unit I bought about 3 yrs ago. I was very impressed with this unit that replaced a class A/B Aragon 4004 MKII. It's very powerful (220 and 440 watts @ 8 and 4 ohms), is very ... | |
| Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily? Faust 168, I agree with your other responses, I think this is not valid but I'm not certain. I'd like to find out from an expert just to be certain. On the one hand, I combined a tube VTL pre-amp with a ss Aragon amp for years and it sound... | |
| Class A/B Home THeater Receivers Hi Mike, Here are some responses to your post and answers to your questions about my system I may have glossed over:1. I really don't have an agenda but admit I've had very positive experiences with several class D amps I own. I bought my 1st... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Raul, You asked: " I was trying to find out information of what typical level of THD has a bass/subwoofers configuration as the one you have but it does not exist something about. I think that that information does not exist for a speci... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2, should I buy? gakman, I bought a used Aragon 4004 MKII amp for $1,000 from a dealer in 1999 and used it, paired with a VTL 2.5 tube preamp, on my Magnepan 2.7qrs for over 15 years. It’s a very good class A/B amp that will deliver 400 watts/channel into the 1.6q... | |
| Class A/B Home THeater Receivers Hi Bruce, Your post drew my attention because you referred to class D as the 'dark side'. I understand you want a class A/B AVR because your 'old school' (behind the times) and think class D means digital which it does not. ... | |
| Class A/B Home THeater Receivers " Can you name any important performance measure or quality that could be in any way accurately described as a cost, ’negative’ or sacrifice of switching from class A/B to class D amplification?" C'mon! The silence is deafening. There is... |
