Class D


Been thinking of trying a D amp to reduce clutter. Most that I see are not rated at 2 ohms.  My PSB Stratus gold's will drop to 3 ohms or lower at some frequencies. So my question is will these types of amps handle this impedance ?
Thanks in advance. Chris

All I can say Ralph after all your put many downs on anything mentioned threatening the release your upcoming Class-D. And all the technical praise you give it.

1: Better be a real good one
2: Designed by you.
3: Have no after market "tweaked" BS modules like, ricevs, pascal, Rowland, red dragon etc etc etc, it may exposed for doing it.
4: Be reasonably priced

The notion that you need Mhz sample rates to achieve high-quality reproduction is pretty ridiculous
No because it's only to get the low order output filtering on the speaker output up high also, so then you can get rid of "all switching noise" without effecting the phase integrity down into the audio band.
Like effects this. 70 degrees out of phase at 10khz and still out of phase at 1hkz https://ibb.co/vvwzGV5
And mhz switching frequency will DO IT WITHOUT the use of large amounts "global feedback". And ghz in the future even more so maybe one day.

NB: Not ridiculous!!!

This has been explained ad nauseum; this statement is rubbish.

OK- we got 2 and 3. Working out the math for the oscillation criteria was a real female dog.... How 'good' it is- we'll leave that to others. We are planning about $5,000 for a pair of 100 watt monoblocks. That's beta production; the actual power might be increased by the time we see production.

@georgehifi - How is that any different from digital audio, where DACs get by (very well I might add) with switching frequencies well below a Mhz? And in DACs, there isn’t a practical way to do global feedback since the input is digital, so it’s much more difficult to eliminate filter effects.

Stop posting tired graphs, of an older technology that no longer represents state of the art.  Are you familiar with the saying correlation does not equal causation?   You are using the ignorant premise that because one Class-D amplifier has lots of phase shift that all Class-D must.  THAT YOU REFUSE TO LEARN what it means to include the filter in the feedback loop shows your dogmatic ignorance.

What is really funny is you idolize Soulution, even though the person who designed it is not the person quoted ..... well guess what SUNSHINE, Soulution uses a ton of feedback, just like Atmasphere has said repeatedly. A TON.  They do it by having a large gain bandwidth.  Really this is 2nd year circuit in University for engineers. Oh right, you don't actually have an engineering education. Silly me.
