Yes, you are right! These amps are not CLASS D....They are CLASS AGD! ;)
Axpona 2022
I attended the show yesterday. I did enjoyed it My favorite room is the Nenuphar,room with silversmith Cables.I think they are using Pass labs or ayre gear sorry I can’t remember..For the first time magico Speakers And synergistic Cables impress me big time..Audiokinesis Plexi box speakers sounds are mimicking the nenuphar basis 26 k. The Piega room with Rose gears is amazing.

Had a great time on Friday. Unfortunately, had to rush through in only 5 hrs - bummer. Had a 2 day ticket but just couldn't make it back. Missed quite a bit. One of my favs was the AGD room with the Ocean wave stand mounts - really impressive IMO. Didn't really like the MBL room 3 yrs ago but this time was different. Sounded great! Trying to put together all of my thoughts and report back for those interested. |
Responding to this earlier comment by jan_mc: https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2379944 I thought I would correct the mistake regarding the price. The Linkwitz LX521 speaker system, the one demoed at the show by me and others, costs just under $20k depending on the finish that you choose. This includes the speakers, cabling, 10 channels of Hypex nCore amplifiers, and an analog active crossover system.
Because the crossover is an active analog one, the only input option is balanced analog signal. The system takes care of everything that is needed after your preamp or DAC (any volume controlled source will work). It’s a turn-key system, that is you just connect everything and play. Takes 10 minutes to set up. For the price you are actually getting quite a lot of high performance gear.

Glad to read so much love for the AGD room. I was lucky to buy the Vivace amps and the Ocean Way Eureka studio monitors in February 2020 at the Tampa show...I wish Covid never happened but we did have an amazing system to watch too many movies, listen to too many songs, albums, etc. Not one ounce or cent of regret. Also got lucky that the AGD founder was able to bring the gear to my house, we A/B tested with my Rotel amp & KEF Reference 1. It was an easy decision for the AGDs. Then we had an awesome Italian meal at a local restaurant. audition__audio grannyring jetter kingbarbuda |
