Yes - definitely getting the best from the 3.7s vs. other more expensive amps (and not just my opinion as others have heard it in my system with Class D and I'm not talking about non-audiophiles but people who have gone to shows and heard really expensive high end systems). Now I'm not saying that there aren't products out there (as there are many products consisting of different amp classes) that might sound better (I can only offer actual experience, vs. theories which are just that and not particularly useful vs. actual in home listening and including the reaction of others who have heard it in my system in my room and no need to insult others who can hear vs. someone who has not heard the system in the room). That does not mean that it is the last word in amplification. Upon my first listen (after breaking in a Class D amp), I was shocked how well it drove the 3.7s and how much better it sounded than two highly regarded non-class D amps with list prices of around $9k.
George, with all your comments on various threads, why not just start a new thread about the theoretical disadvantages of Class D? Would not that be better to have all that discussion organized in one thread? Once would think (at least I would, others can disagree of course) that it would be far more productive than insulting other peoples (and a bunch of people who have had separates for 30- 40 years) hearing. Personally, I just don't see the point of regurgitating the same comments with a complete lack of actual experience with the room and the components and speakers. When I had a friend who worked at a high end shop many moons ago and did virtually all his set-ups in deliveries with him (and I'm talking some two channel systems with around $150k in costs going back more than a dozen years), I learned very quickly not to say that for example a particular speaker is always wonderful sounding (I heard pairs of speakers I previously owned that sounded like complete crap in another room). I don't take any of your comments personally (or those by anyone else btw). I can't take anyone all that seriously who makes comments without actually hearing things (and I would have no problem if you heard it and posted all over here that my system actually sucked in your opinion). Not trying to start anything. Just think it would be best to get all points of view concentrated in appropriate threads (and would be fine if this thread was linked in a new thread - much betting than making comments that really are not that relevant - if you think they are, then why don't post your actual experience using Class D vs. other classes of amps driving Thiel 3.7s or 5s and if you don't have any that is basically what I'm saying - theories are fine and at one point the earth was flat according to one as well)
