Hate to do this again. Start over. Class d


Seriously stop the fighting. I tried to get thru the last discussion,  but it was over 400 replies of arguing.  So please, no arguing. I want know who is using the nord or apollon nc500 amps. Se version, and upgrades. Sparkos or SI amp.  I dont care about 50k amps, because they are over my budget. 2 to 3k fits me fine. Looking to use with my winds 4ohm, anthem mrx720 and bluesound 2.  My amp now is a bat vk200 which sounds sweet, but at times I really want more power.  I would go for a vk600se, but out of my range.  Also what speakers and pre are you using. I remember very long time ago when audiogon people helped more with less fighting.

Wow, Class D is a cheap easy way to pump out amplifiers and get a piece of the action. You dress it up in a fancy chassis spew out some marketing and you are in for some bucks. You want a fabulous amp for the money? Get a Benchmark AHB2. I have absolutely no affiliation with Benchmark other than I own their ADC. I have heard the amp and there is absolutely no amp that I have heard for that kind of money have that kind of authority. If eventually you want even more power get another and strap them. I have not heard that but I can extrapolate.

Here's the link to the Digital Amp Co's " base" Cherry amp in 2 versions , more in line with the price point you are interested in. The $6K is a more higher end version'

so have you heard the ARC ? those guys have ears and a serious history to compare against...
ya, I get the room warmer issue...I have a liquid cooled amp w radiators into the room...but I can say the ARC is a good amp from a company that promises to be here, next week, probably next decade...
