Is D for Dry? Class D...


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

Before long, he’ll be calling you sunshine
Trust fusers to back each other sunshine.(because your soooo bright) 
(not you Ralph, the other fuser here with the AGD)

Ironically its the GaNFETs that George has been so enamored of in the last couple of years
Yes I have, and still do, but never that GaN could drive .9ohm bass loads like the Alexia’s to their best. Refute that Ralph
As I said the AGD has no chance of driving the Wilson Alexia to sound their best in the bass because of their .9ohm impedance load. And refute that also Ralph.

Go and read any thread and you’ll have georgie calling anyone a shiller
Especially owners that claim these amps can drive those types of loads. Which gives out the wrong info on what they can drive, they do it because they are shilling.
From the Wilson website page for the Alexia 2:


Measurements Sensitivity 89 dB @ 1 watt @ 1 meter @ 1 kHz Nominal Impedance 4 ohms / minimum 2.54 ohms @ 85 Hz Minimum Amplifier Power 20 watts per channel Frequency Response 19 Hz – 32 kHz +/- 3 dB Room Average Response [RAR]


We can see that Wilson does not think this speaker hard to drive with a 20 watt minimum. Because the AGD has such a low output impedance I think it should be able to drive this speaker quite well, depending on the power of the amplifier and the size of the room. If you have a larger room all you would need is more power.


So I guess I’m refuting the idea that a class D can’t handle this speaker (any more or less than any other class AB amp of the same power might). I really don’t see what the problem is.

I spoke to Jerron that works at Wilson (for the last 20 years) and he is in complete agreement. He says the older Alexia was a bit harder to drive but the class D amps handled it no worries at all.
So I'm going with a 'furphy' on this one.

Ralph, don’t skew things around "to seem" to suit your next product.
I did not say "won’t handle", I said will not get "the best" out of the Alexia’s bass because of it loading.
We have the Alexia’s here in front of us and know what they like to get the best out of them in the bass, and it’s not Class-D yet. (Maybe in the future when they can come close to doubling from 8ohm to 4ohm to 2ohm wattages like big better linear amps can)

Keep going like this and it will look like your shilling again, because of your yet to be released GaN Class-D
