Is D for Dry? Class D...
Congratulations on the Raven,....Dave and the crew at Raven Audio build some amazing amps. I've lusted after the Shaman Mk2 monoblocks more than once (and the Silhouette Mk2s). They make great sounding gear that gives the best of tubes,....

@viber6   WIth the large driver area and sheer scale and abilities of the Legacy Valors and the Elrod speaker and interconnects that I utilize, I tend to hear in vivid detail whether an amp or source or source material is too much "this" or "too l... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Thank you @rh67 ! 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Oh gosh, I thought we were done with this.....again, here are 3 pictures of the insides of the i-v4 ultra......and what I see are 4 stock IceEdge modules. Does yours look different than these?Said in good fun....Must be a trick question :-) as tha... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
"Regarding class D i would like to see manufactures building their own class D modules. We need more effort, these modules IceEdge ect. no matter what amp they are inserted in all have a familiar signature even though they are much better today th... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
From the detail of your posts I’m sure your modified ICedge boards and designs are of great quality in how the service you offer modifies the stock offering and how they sound. I’d like to hear them some day and that would be a great compare as we... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
If the amplifier is unable to follow the waveform presented to it (which is the source of all dynamic contrast) then it will distort.Perhaps a bit counterintuitively, if a particular amp is **more** dynamic than most others (for example SETs) its ...

class d amplification is a just technologyhow it is designed and voiced determines how it soundsjust like a class ab amp can sound sharp with flat soundstage... well sometimes, even often the case... but not alwaysGreat post! 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
While this is certainly true, it has nothing to do with a properly functioning amplifier. Usually it has more to do with making sure that the speakers used with the amp are such that when the dynamic range of the music is expressed, you hear every...

@atmasphere +1 on that,....well said!@nitrobob  Thanks,....I used to have a very large, complex, costly and (I thought) great-sounding/viewing 7.1 HT and 2-ch hybrid system up until late 2008-2009.  I missed 2-ch music whenever I was immersed in a...

@nitrobob   Congratulations on what sounds like a great system! I had Caliber XDs stacked on 2 Foundation subs driven by Wavelet before I went up to Valor and the results were both earth-shattering and musically fantastic.  The subs require good b...

(correction to earlier post as it is no longer editable)should say 100, 200+ pound amps.... I've corrected it here:I've owned in the past a large number of major name-brand top Class AB solid state amps and have heard and love many others as well ... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Yes they are indeed very good, actually excellent in sound quality and much more than simply purchased modules installed in a box based upon my opening the cover and speaking based upon what I see first-hand.

I've owned in the past a large number of major name-brand top Class AB solid state amps and have heard and love many others as well as many great tube amps and Class A solid state. All the AB that I owned were big, expensive, heavy, wonderful soun...
