Class D is just Dandy!

I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

REW is great, but measuring the speakers adds a ton of confounds. I say this as a speaker maker and integrator. And that's fine, but what I'm personally after is to understand how well these amps do electrically, as that will be the most clear. 

You can use REW to measure impedance and electrical transfer functions too (since Ver5).  Nice link on impedance measuring:

Ah, fine. :) That's fancy.

All we really need is a signal generator, and voltage meter at a couple of frequencies.

Best,

Hello all,
I read this statement on another forum and thought it sums up my outlook,each to there own Offcourse.

"We can hear everything we measure, but we can't measure everything we hear. Let your ears be your guide."

Sounds like something I've said, about other things though. :)

I've owned a total 158x amp and peach tree nova/220 equipment....both sounded great.  Punchy...clean...not strident...  Unless you are into uber-syrupy sounding tubes or something...i can't imagine one not  liking the sound. I have heard that wyred4sound equip can be bright sounding...but have no hands-on experience.
