Class-D recommendation


Looking for a class-D recommendation for the base portion of a multi-amp system w/ active xover.  The amp will be powering a pair of 15" 4Ohm woofers from 30 - 600Hz.  Need at least 400W, very high damping, and clean into the midrange.  Everything above 600Hz is taken care of by a class-A amp.  I would prefer to spend <$2k used.

Look into Digital Amplifier Company (DAC)! DAC has been mentioned a few times and here’s another strong recommendation. Tommy sometimes has demos and trade ins available at a discount. All of them are put on the bench and certified before they go out. Contact Tommy and he will help to figure your needs.

The real question is which one of the aforementioned Class D amps can approach reference Class A or a good push/pull without sounding overly dry.  Anyone who has directly A/B tested a lot of Class D amps against competing technologies will immediately notice how dry and brittle most class D amps sounds in comparison. Instruments can lack that sense of air and can sound smeared and congested.  Of course this is only revealed if you do a back to back test and swap gear.  Most people who are living with a Class D day in and day out probably won't notice it. But once you hear it and identify the dryness, you can't go back.
After much comparison I have decided to go Cherry MEGAschino  and yes I just blew my budget.

Thank you all for the input and in a couple cases allowing me to listen to your gear.

Megachino suppose to be very good. However, you can get a mono block pair of Ncore NC1200 based class D amps for $1700 (rated at 1200 watts a channel into 2 ohms) from VTV Amplifier. Would be killer up to 600hz. If you get the more tweaked out versions (discrete input stage, discrete regulators)...then it is super at all frequencies. Not too late. Way less money. This guy has 30 day trial.

Here is a review of mono block amps sold years ago using this module with the stock input stage. They sold for 9K back then and now the very same thing sells for $1700 today. This is the kind of sound you would get from the $1700 VTV version.
