I'm using a pair of Belcanto M300 as summer amp in replacement of my Audio Research Reference 110. The sound of these little cold boxes is surprising when a good tube preamp is driving them (ARC LS5 MKI with some mods in my case).
Class D for a Tube Lover
First, I'm sure this has been asked many times but searching the subject wasn't too helpful to me.
So apologies in advance.
I enjoy tubed electronics and class A amps, which tend to be a bit warm. My current Cary 805s warm my small (12x16) music room even in the cool/cold of winter. I've got other amps that don't produce much heat, but am looking for something that produces no heat. Living in a home with no central AC the room gets uncomfortably hot during the summer months.
So...I'd like to try some Class D amps. Stereo or mono is just fine. And my speakers aren't difficult to drive so I don't need a thousand watts. But if that thousand watt amp sounds great, I'm not adverse to that, either.
I'd like to keep the price under 2k used.
Please help.
Thanks.

These mono blocks seem to have a lot of reviewers singing their praises. https://wyred4sound.com/products/mono/mamp https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649429931-wyred-4-sound-mamps-monos/ |
I own a Nord Ice Power 1200as2 based amp and I have no complaints. I want to upgrade my bedroom system and I'm going with Purifi this time around. I'm looking at an Apollon Audio Purifi 1ET400A MINI Stereo Amp because I love the design. I'm also considering VTV's Purifi offering because I "love" the price! I can recommend Nord Acoustics products and service. |
I just purchased a pair of Purifi based monos, don’t have them yet. I just want to experiment with them. But, it seems these are the latest greatest when it comes to class d amp modules. Look for them. It seems PS Audio is a bit high on the price side for what you get... There are several brands. I bought mine from March Audio out of Aus. Alan, the owner, will go over your entire system to put you in the best overall amp choice. |
