Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers

I would not let GAN transistors be your deciding factor ,that is just one small influencing part of a big chain of parts . Much has to do with how substantial the power supplies are , quality of build ,and output stage . Some build pretty boxes 

look at Merrill a fine product but  put a pretty face on it with nice machined cases 

and then $25-$30k I was shocked ,just 3 years ago they were around $10k .if I am going to spend over $10 k  AAvic from theDanish Audio group makes Outstanding 

gear That get get very $$ ,But they have a entry level line that is very refined with lots of trickle down technologies  that is reasonable a integrated starting around $6k. The Danes  are known to build excellent products .I owned a class D product 

I regret selling from Gato audio very natural and musical. I think they have a Canadien distributor .their 150 monoblocks with a meter is very well respected .

check these guys out . Sorry I cannot remember everything here but it’s a good starting point.

Check out audio group Denmark , they have very good products ,even their entry level has technologies their brilliant designers have that most Donot .

well worth checking out ,their entry level is better then most of any type of amplification per $$ dollar spent. Lots of cutting edge technologies.

A Pass XA-25 and a Had Firebottle HO...why should I care?

I wanted to give an update. I needed to drop off a couple DACs I was trying at my local AGD dealer. I mentioned this thread and told him about my thoughts on bass. He said he never heard that nor experienced it in his own systems with their amps. He speculated it may be my speaker cables so gave me something to try. There's a huge difference on the bass side between my regular cable and the ones he gave me. I'm shocked at the difference. I bought the cables when I had a totally different system so they may just not work with this amp and speakers as well. Crazy hobby/addiction.

I recently purchased a Hifi Rose RA180 that I have paired with Focal Diablo Utopia standmount speakers and an SVS sub. It also utilizes GAN transistors and had some interesting features such as bi-amping capabilities, BTL mode for difficult speakers, selectable tone controls, and a dedicated sub out.

I also really like how it looks on the rack and stacks up well with the highly rated and equally gorgrous Hifi Rose RS130 streamer.
