Is D for Dry? Class D...


Class D sounds dry and lifeless... thats all, carry on

I’ll skip the D-bate on this...
currently auditioning a PS Audio Stellar S300 which uses the usual suspects of Ice modules. That’s where it stops. The bout stage is a proprietary MOSFET which sounds pretty good. 
The excellent staff at PS say that about 300 hours is optimal burn-in, but this can be done with no speakers connected, so is purely for the input/driver stage. 
I’m playing all my favorite stuff and watching and waiting for either the amp to thermally warm up (they don’t), or to pop a speaker - which would be a good excuse to fed new ones. 
I’ve had a Parasound Halo A23+ on order for awhile...
Class D=dry and lifeless?

I don't think so.  You should get to hear a pair of Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps with TDSS level 3 upgrades--primarily to the power supply.  These amps are potent, detailed, much more live, and with killer bass and I've heard them with a variety of speakers.  All of which benefitted at using the Ref 9's.

I'm currently trialing a D-Sonic M3a-1200S, which is a Class D amp with a Pascal X-Pro module.  I'm liking what I hear so far and my maggies are loving the power they are being fed.  I had been using an Akitika GT-102 Z4, which will probably be relegated to my office system. 
...well, D is trying to storm the Citadel of Sound again.....

...and have grown more equipped to do so.

Only time and timbre to tell the tale...as it always has been. *G*

I had the V2 SE's, but the 2 Ohm Thiel speakers they powered needed still more juice. Recently changed to a VTV Pascal L-Pro2S amp. Now more controlled and a feeling of effortlessness, more detail as well, but not quite the same warmth as the NuForce. Still a long way from "dry and lifeless" though.
