The Truth about Modern Class D

All my amps right now are Class D. ICEpower in the living room, and NAD D 3020 in the bedroom.

I’ve had several audiophiles come to my home and not one has ever said "Oh, that sounds like Class D."

Having said this, if I could afford them AND had the room, I’d be tempted to switch for a pair of Ayre monoblocks or Conrad Johnson Premiere 12s and very little else.

I’m not religious about Class D. They sound great for me, low power, easy to hide, but if a lot of cash and the need to upgrade ever hits me, I could be persuaded.

The point: Good modern Class D amps just sound like really good amplifiers, with the usual speaker/source matching issues.

You don’t have to go that route, but it’s time we shrugged off the myths and descriptions of Class D that come right out of the 1980’s.

BTW, George, thanks for helping to revitalize this thread. I haven't seen it for months, then 1 new post shows up and your incessant bashing Class D keeps this thread at the top of the list for Audiogon.

This would be a dead thread if it wasn't for you.

Kisses

I don’t know George, you are swearing, resorting to personal attacks and failing to answer your technical mistakes.

Maybe bashing Class D all weekend long isn’t your most productive use of your time??
