Class D Amplification Announcement

After 60 some odd years of disappointment, Class D has finally arrived. As per The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin, the Borrenson-designed Aavik P-580 amp “is the first Class D amplifier I can recommend without the usual reservations. …the P-580 does not have the usual digital-like upper-mid/lower-treble glare or brick wall-like top-octave cut-off that Class D amps of the past have evinced.”

Past designers of Class D and audiophiles, rejoice; Michael Borrenson has finally realized the potential of Class D.

there is no top sparkle, midrange has never had lively crunch as A or AB no matter how many times you sell your selves they are so awesome, better than class A or AB,                ................Nobody says it's better than A- A/B...It's a "new sound" for people that like to try new things.......Chevy isn't better than Ford....It's just different. If you want to hear the difference and you have a pre amp...get the Orchard Audio Starcrimson mono blocks for $1599 and rock out..TAS Budget product of the year. Just Enjoy the music.

I’m assuming folks making comprehensive statements about what class D amps do not do have heard them all.
