D amps


Anyone try the new class D amps with Nautilus 802 speakers?

@hgeifman   they lacked the subtly, feeling, resolution, sparkle, air and imaging of my MusicalFidelity class AB amps that replaced them.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Hypex. I’ve been curious about it for a while. People say Purifi sounds better, but I doubt it will be a complete overhaul that fixes all these undesirable aspects. You might want to try the Topping LA90 and/or B100 that just came out. What impresses me most is the frequency-independent THD, something I haven’t seen from any other amplifier, regardless of what class they’re built from.

 

I absolutely love my AGD Production Gran Vivace GANFET monoblock amps on my Fyne F-703 speakers. I can't imagine that they wouldn't excel on B&W 802s...

My brother tried the Topping amps and they were absolutely horrible. They retailed for around $ 1500.00 and he sent them back for a refund. Granted they were not fully broken in (about 50 hours). Also connections were funky and the build quality didnt inspire confidence. 

I think you will find that the Fyne speakers and B & Ws present very different loads to amplifiers. I dont think this is the best comparison.
