Class D is just Dandy!

@jdavis37 Not all Class D manufacturers use third-party amplifier modules. Check of Digital Amplifier Company. He designs his own Class D amps, or at least that's what he says (see website.) I own a pair on his Maraschinos and I love 'em. I also have some experience with other brands you mentioned. But I'd rather not speak of that here. PM me if you want more information. And I am not affiliated with, nor compensated by, Digital Amplifier Company...just wanted to get that said.

Thanks MDE.. gives me something else to read about. His approach seems a little different and his units carry a bit of weight to them (Makes class A/B people like me feel more comfortable!). I'll PM you fo rthe other info!

MDE.. I'm not an audiogon regular so PMng seems to be escaping my abilities! Feel free to send from your end :)

I did try a pair of bel canto ref 500m monos a couple of years ago but for reasons I think mostly associated with the other gear I quickly moved on!

However in my ht rig the move to class d amp was a massive step forward in every way.
Replaced my Emotiva amps with a tiny single nuforce power amp making a claimed 150w x8, only using 7 channels for my 7.1 system.
The emotivas claimed 300w x2 and 250 x5, not quite sure where they were hiding those horses as the nuforce creamed them in every aspect.
dynamics, action, dialogue, sheer volume were vastly increased with the nuforce.
and now I have one tiny little box which has replaced two behemoth amps that were sucking juice and pumping heat.

I will at some stage give a pair of mono class d amps a whirl in my main rig again I am very sure!

Nearly forgot about my second system.
Linn Classik all in one which uses a 70wx2 class d amp and sounds pretty darn good for what it is and I have no desire to replace it with anything
