Class D Amplification Announcement

I was not a believer in Class D amps and decided to take a chance on PS Audio's Stellar M1200 monoblocks. They make my Magnepan 1.7i's SING!!! Amazing amps at a reasonble price. 1200 watts into 4 ohms....

Did it mention which class D amps JV had in house for extended listening? I seriously doubt it

Several years ago I bought a EVS 1200 that Ric Schultz designed around the identical IcePower modules PS Audio uses in their 3xs as expensive M1200s, that Michael Fremer bought. About a year later, after numerous testing delays, LSA introduced the Voyager 350 GaN amp @ $3000 but routinely discounted to $2399.

Is the Audion, or Atmosphere 2+Xs better? I'm sure they are both excellent, BUT, I seriously doubt it

As I have a wind turbine and solar I will keep my Class A Tube amps.

Jeez. 

I think high-power Class A is environmentally irresponsible. 

Love this q and a with Bruno.

S&V: Generally speaking, what are the key benefits of Class D versus the traditional Class AB and Class A designs that have long been favored by audiophiles?
BP: Efficiency and therefore the ability to construct amps that are powerful for their size. Only that. Modern Class D amps, in particular mine—ahem—sound good not because they’re Class D, but in spite of it. I can’t repeat that often enough. Left to its own devices, a switching power stage tries to do just about anything except amplify audio. You choose Class D to save energy but it’s all elbow grease after that. People don’t realize how much more challenging Class D is compared to Class AB. It’s truly an order of magnitude.

@arafiq I run the AGD Tempo with a Backert preamp.  Best of both worlds.
