I wouldn't touch Class D with a 10 foot pole. Why not look at Emotiva amps, they would match the preamp in one of your systems and they seem to be pretty cheap.
Amp upgrade advice
I am looking to upgrade the amplifiers in 2 of my systems and could really use some advice from experience audiophiles. I’ve laid out the current systems in my office and kitchen below. I am happy with the pre-amps and speakers in both rooms. They are both augmented by subwoofers. I am interested in upgrading the Amps. I’ve listed the amps I currently have. I’m planning to sell thee current Adcom’s to fund upgrades with a few extra dollars. My research is pointing me to the B&K Reference 125.2 amp. Both rooms are smaller with smaller speakers so I am thinking quality Amps rated at 125 W should be plenty.
I am asking for your advice: Am I on the right track?
Office. (12’ x 12’ Closed room)
Pre-Amp. Emotiva BAS X PT-100
Speakers Definitive Tech SM350
Kitchen ( 10’ x 20’. With one open side)
Pre- Amp. Emotiva UMC-200
Speakers Paradigm Reference Millenia One
Amp’s to sell?
Adcom GFA-555 MKII
Adcom GFA-545 MKII
Looking at B&K Reference 125.2
Thank you for any advice.

The Nuforce is the deal of the year and it does not get very hot. The review of the Vidar seemed quite "unenthusiastic" over at Computer audiophile. I would stay away from the Emotiva stuff myself. For no particular reason. You'll basically have a paper weight when you go sell it down the road. http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/optoma-nuforce-sta200-power-amplifier/ https://www.computeraudiophile.com/ca/reviews/schiit-audio-reference-system-review-part-1-r676/ |
