D class amps with Soundlab speakers

Dob thanks for the feedback;I was starting to think it was a combination that may not be very good;I presently have m2's with upgrades and audiovalve challanger 180 monoblocks so I completely understand the magic that you are describing;thanks again.

Sound Labs do play nice bass. The trick is if the amp can deliver power into the bass frequencies as their impedance can be quite high. This is why they seem very power hungry if you have a transistor amplifier- an amp that makes 400 watts into 8 ohms will only make about 100 watts into the bass frequencies.

Its not a power issue though- 150 watts is plenty of power if the amplifier can make the power. Its a matter of impedance.

Dob's description matches pretty well to what I hear with the IcePower Bel Canto ref1000m monoblock Class D amps in my system. They seem to work well with most any speaker design it seems though if your speakers are a bottleneck to the sound, you will know it.

Yep, its better to be rich and healthy then poor and sick.
The problem is that some, just some don't know how to reach there.

IcePower and Soundlabs: Honestly, I am not even sure if these amps are capable to drive these speakers without invoking protection circuitry... Very easy to test; if in the middle of music you will hear silence then yes, its your answer

For the most part solid state amps do have trouble making power on this speaker. I would not expect a class D amp to have problems with the load otherwise, just that you would want one with a lot of power (600 watts or more depending on the room) so that you don't have to push the amp.

Some of this is my own experience- I find that class D works a lot better if they aren't being pushed hard.
