Tom was unfortunately influenced by his cousin, Tom-Tom, who had CTE from being struck repeatedly.
Back to reality: I did a LOT of research on class D amps (not just features, but how they are said to sound) to use with high-quality studio monitors (ATC SCM12 Pro) on my space-constrained desktop that simply couldn’t accomodate a sufficiently powerful class AB amp. I ended up getting used Wyred4Sound ST500, which is very powerful yet not huge. Because it throws off zero heat even w/full load, I have it standing on one side snugged up against my tower PC.
The ATCs are transparent, truth-telling speakers, and they tell me this amp sounds rather good.
