In the Thread: Are Any Powerful Amps Worth Using?

Post Subject: Best of Class D?Posted by Paul S on: 5/25/2012

The recent TT measurement post reminded me that I tried Class D amps last weekend (with Wilson speakers). These amps are supposed to be the Class D for serious listeners, with PWM and Class D "switching" output stage, and large, conventional PS.

The amps showed power and control, and no "distortion" as we generally recognize it. Problems were "subtractive", smoothing everything into sound effects; perfect for audiophile extravaganzas.

I've heard class D amps that added terrible noise to ruined music. These amps just ruined the music cleanly and quietly.
