Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt


I have a tube amp, an A/B amp and now I'd like to experiment with a D amplifier. I would like something from a big name company for build quality, warranty and reputation. I would also like some heft in terms of watts and the ability to get close to doubling output from 8 to 4 ohms. I like NAD's C298, especially price wise but it seems a little lite on wattage. I know I am not describing exactly what I want with sound signature and so forth, but I'd like some names of amplifiers that might meet the wattage, say 300 or above and be below the $3000 mark. Perhaps such a beast doesn't exist except with the boutique manufacturers? With some suggestions, I can then do a little research to see if it fits the bill.

Thanks in advance!

PSAudio M700 mono blocks just over 3K. 350 watts @ 8 ohm, 700 watts @ 4 ohm. 

To be clear, the 'D' of class D does not mean 'digital'. All class D amplifiers are analog; if not, its not a class D amp.

JKJK: Understood on the power requirements...I was thinking if I like the amp a lot, I generally like watts in the event I purchase very inefficient speakers. Probably overkill and I'm not likely to buy such speakers, but I'm sometimes a bit illogical😊

 

Russ: I'll take a look at the ps audio, thanks!

twoleftears: I'll look at those as well.

atmosphere: Yes, I've read that class D does not mean digital. I'm not super electronically inclined, but I think if I saw the waveform going to the speaker, it would be a regular old sign wave like A/B, tube etal. At least I think so🤔

What I find kind of intriguing is the low energy consumption, small footprint and the alleged maturing of the technology with regard to sound quality.

Just had a pair of PSA M700 delivered yesterday.  Will be trying them out this weekend. If you want a bargin check out  TMR . They have a  set of PSA m77, Belcanto e1 ref600m,  and Wyred for Sound 1000r for sale. The WFS has the biggest wattage output.
