I'll let you know after the weekend. I have an Orchard Audio Starkrimson which I can hook up to my other system which consists of Zu Omen mkII. Give me a few days.
Class D with high efficiency speakers
I'm currently running PS Audio BHK Pre / Atma-Sphere S30 Mk3 OTL into Avantgarde Duo Omega horns (107dB/W 16ohms). I've been very happy with the sound of the OTL's the past 12 years and since retiring have been listening to my system throughout the day as well as evening. This is obviously impacting valve life (although Atma-Sphere amps seem very kind on valves) and my electricity bill.
I'm therefore keen to explore whether any of the new Class D amps would be a suitable match in my system.
I've seen a lot of reviews where Class D amps are feeding low efficiency / low impedance speakers and I can see the benefit of their ability to supply current etc.
My question is, does anyone have any experience of running a new Class D GaNFET amp into high efficiency / high impedance speakers?

@rocketiii My speakers are 98dB and 16 Ohms. I've been running our class D GaNFET amps on them the last year and a half or so. They replaced a fully optioned set of our M-60s. I don't miss the tubes at all. |
