classe twenty five and classe fifteen


Hi there I am curious to what the differences are between these amp I am guessing that they are built the same years and they have the same design philosophy but the twenty five is the higher model, i cant seem to find to much info on the 25, any info would be greatly apperated.

Thanks,Paul

So I take it thats's 25w consumption at standby or idle? And then with any signal/volume its the full class A monte, no matter 'watt'

The 25 in the DR25 is short for 250w into 8ohms, nothing to do with power consumption.

If that was true then the 15 would be 150 wpc and it's in fact 175 wpc. So many on here are regurgitating nonsense . I haven't a clue from where they get it. The differences between the DR versions and the subsequent versions are indeed clearly audible and a real upgrade. Anyone who says different doesn't have a clue.

I don't know about the DR15.

The idle current power consumption is around 100w with factory adjusted bias give or take. I took them up much higher so heatsinks were at 50c

Your link is standard specs and provides no support to your assertion that the 25 stands for 250wpc. As I stated, does that make sense when the dr15 has 175wpc? The DR 8 I suppose has 80wpc, the DR 9 has 90wpc and DR 3 has 30wpc? Do you honestly believe the DR 25 to be an outlier in the nomenclature?
