LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier


Just got mine last week.  After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier.  There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like.  The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous.  Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good.  I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.

This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....

I had an interest in the Voyager amp in the title post but reading through what is here is such a waste of time and so unpleasant.  This site seems to be going to hell in a hurry.  Perhaps it is what some of these awful posters would like to see happen.

I know that is the goal of at least 1/2 dozen of them. They have an ax to grind with LSA or Wally.

No, you have not proven anything. Again, if you lower the 20K via an equalizer -2db like I suggested it essentially would mimic the response with a 3 ohm load using the LSA.....please do this and tell us you hear a noticeable difference.

Actually, Nelson’s amps with tweaks would be even more universally loved. A lot of people find them too warm, slightly un dynamic, and rolled off. A friend just sold his XA250 for this reason. This can all be easily fixed via parts and execution. No, I don’t mod heavy amps.

The only common knowledge in audio is that over time enough people have listened to a component that it has a "noted history" of sounding a certain way. My friend used to say...."it all comes out in the wash". There IS NO COMMON knowledge about distortion numbers meaning something in sound.....because there are no tests that prove it....only hand waving from bench testers.

I know you didn't ask me, but I have Emerald Physics 3.4s (12" midbass with 1" concentric polyester tweeter) with my Voyager. I can tell you it came with CRAP jumpers to the outboard XOs. By itself, replacing them was HUGE. Also until I got the longer and superior jumpers I had to put the XOs on the base. Man that thing vibrates like crazy, and yet I've seen plenty of for sale ads where the owner is using the crap jumpers and has the XO resting on the base. Go figure
