Is D for Dry? Class D...

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.

I recently auditioned a 100wpc Rotel integrated amp, with a Rotel CD player, with some $10,000 speakers that are a much newer version, but one model down from my own.  By its size, the amp must have been a Class D.  It also sounded very electronic, very much like my Crown IC 150, as far as I can remember back that far.  If this represents Class D sound, I would not be a customer for it.  Even the sales person finally admitted that it was not really expected to be used for long term listening.  Is Rotel actually Class D now?
