The class D AGD Vivace Monoblock amps are a steal at $15k USD per set. I have heard they are the real deal in rendering an authentic 3D soundstage of the correct timbre pace and dynamics.
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.
I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.
Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?
Thanks

they are the real deal in rendering an authentic 3D soundstage of the correct timbre pace and dynamics. I believe it, it has the GaN technology. Probably could have been below $10k if he didn’t use that marketing "tube thing", may have been even better sounding without tube pins in the signal path. Bet there’s a cheaper MkII without the tube thing soon. Even he said "Company founder Alberto Guerra admitted that he did it largely for the sake of visual aesthetics. “Otherwise a class-D amp just looks like a box,” he said. The amp uses gallium nitride MOSFET output transistors, which Guerra says switch faster and allow the amp to have a noise floor in the -120 to -130dB range. Power is rated at 200W into 4 ohms." |
Here's another press release, this time from

I’m pushing Class-D with this newer technology, because the old technology that’s basically been the same since it started (save for some input detours) is flawed. Reason why all detractors ALWAYS find the mid/highs are not right. Right, you've called all Class D except for something new and expensive "junkers." Further, you have disparaged everyone who likes Class D as not having good enough hearing, and you told me to leave those who want to enjoy what they like alone. Lastly, and most importantly, here like everywhere else, your ears refuse to accept the reality that a lot of modern class D is already excellent. A real charmer.. |
