I do not think I have ever been more excited by the prospects of amplification in the industry than now. There are wonderful things coming for the hobbyist! There is no reason that most participants here cannot all have fundamentally superior sound in the next 2-3 years, due to developments in amps. :)

Class D is the future and continues to improve as solid-state did and tubes over time did. My next amp will be class D of some sort, no longer going to want to lift my 100 lb McIntosh amp which is superb. It will be sold at local pickup only at a reduced price. Just reality of age. Walter at Underwood going to be releasing a class D amp with the newest technology for $3,000. Cherry Class D, Merrill class D, and one or 2 others. |
First off Im going to let you know about an amp company that makes such a stunning GaN amp, that I immediately negotiated the USA Dealer position . It is nothing like any of you have yet heard and I stake my name on it . The AGD Production amps are capable of delivering 32A of current on the $7500 model and 50A on the $18K model. They switch at 800Mhz. They are the only GaN amps where the MOSFET is designed for HiFi ground up. The other amps are using GaN devices optimized for battery chargers. These amps caught me off guard with their performance. Ill keep it short and sweet because talk is cheap , everyone says the same thing and the proof is in the listening. My guarantee is that it will outperform any other amp in existence sonically. A AB, D it does not matter. Im not here to tease or play games , Ill put my money where my mouth is. Rarely done in this industry. an open invitation to try it in your home and if it is not the most incredible sounding amplifier you have ever heard, then return with no restock fee. I dont know how else to do this as its the only meaningful way I can see for people in the market for a $7500 to $20K set of monos of the latest cutting edge amp tech to realize this new level of listening. If anyone has ideas on how to do this most effectively please share. Perhaps I start a thread dedicated to these new creatures. Bring your Gryphon, Boulder, EDGE.. It wont matter. Again, I am not on these forums enough to know the proper way to tell folks to do a demo or to pose a challenge or whatever. Ill just say that AGD Production makes amps that are a bold departure into perfection from what we are used to. |
