CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS

@atmasphere Any plans to develop a higher power version of these amps, or a stereo ~350 wpc doubling into 4 ohms class D (similar to bel canto black ex) with the same sonic profile as your new monos?  I'm asking because I wonder if these 100 watt class D monos have enough testicular fortitude to drive <89 dB efficient speakers with grunt and authority. I would completely understand if you chose not to answer the above question ;)

Generally speaking I'm not a fan of low efficiency and hard to drive speakers. This is simply because the harder you make any amplifier work for a living, the higher the distortion, and with that distortion comes a less relaxed presentation (due to the generation of higher ordered harmonics) and less detail (since distortion obscures detail).

89dB is borderline low efficiency. A lot depends on the room and your listening habits as to whether 100 Watts is enough power or not. The speakers in my bedroom system are about 90dB and I play them with an amp that only make 5 Watts with power to spare, no worries. You have to take the room into account.

Look at Merrill audio they started off reasonable .

now because they decided to use the latest in digital they go Waaay over 

priced by making a fancy cabinet at 10 x the mark up , a truly good engineeer 

Will offer Amps preamp $5-$10 k.  That shows skills  .

the vast majority of Audiophiles cannot even afford  $10k 

amplifiers never mind like Merrill $30k units .  Think on being practical it’s a hobby to enjoy not a mortgage !!
