Class D amps


I know Class D power amps are used in car audio applications. Why not for home audio power amps? Thanks.

Nordic87,

Please don't let the rudeness exhibited in some posts scare you away from the forums...plenty of good folks here willing to help. I don't use D-amps but I have a friend who replaced his older VTL tube amps with a great pair of D-amps he created from a kit (I think audiocircle.com has a fan site) and I gotta admit they give the VTL's a run for their money and certainly beat them in terms of speed and dynamics. Given the kits were sub $500, I think we'll see more great D-amps to come. I tried the Bel Canto M1000's but they were a bad match for my system.
New to Audiogon since April 2010 isn't new. And the initial post was not as much a question as a statement that was not true.

I would be more tolerant of an innocent question compared to an inaccurate statement. There is already too much misinformation and repetition on this site.
Some of you guys (gals maybe-not you Elizabeth, you're cool) need to learn to be nice. I'll bet you'd have better manners if Nordic587 asked you face-to-face. Jeez.

I've been a music lover and hifi hobbyist for almost four decades and it still seems like there are sharks lurking to pounce on my posts sometimes. I'm a big strong guy and I could probably kick your butt.
Kij,
Add to your list 'International Rectifier'. I have one of 'em out in the garage needing a power supply......it is one of the development boards given or sold to people contemplating using them in OEM applications.
I may be the only other "gal" lurking around here apart from Elizabeth and I'm pretty darn nice! LOL!

Actually the question posed by the OP is of interest to me as I have the Wyred for Sound dec 2 and when my old Classe gives up the ghost, the Wyred integrated amp would be of interest. When I first began reading about amps and such years ago, no one ever spoke of Class D so I'm still a bit foggy about what it means, some of these posts have been clarifying.
