Keep your Dingos away from himWhat does that even mean?
Anger issues, I'm guessing.
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

@invalid.FYI. These guys claim that wattage doubles (close enough) at 4ohms. Pathos Classic MK III Specifications Type: Integrated amplifier in Class A/AB, hybrid circuit with input tube stage, bridgeable Pathos LOGOS
The Logos uses MOSFETs in the output stage, known for their tube-like
transfer characteristics, in a design that attempts to come sonically as
close as possible to Pathos’ patented InPol circuitry. InPol is the
only amplifier design, hybrid or solid-state, that gives the full glory
of a tube amplifier but with control. Look at the numbers: 110 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and an amazing 220 watts into 4 ohms, with full bandwidth

You keep mentioning Wilson's as being hard to drive, where does this come from? I have owned Wilson's from their beginning starting with the original Wamm's and i have never found them difficult to drive even using 300B tube amps. It seems that you lack personal experience with Wilson. https://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-specialties-alexandria-xlf-loudspeaker-measurements |
