Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference?

I owned class D amplifiers on two occasions, an expensive set of Cary monoblocks being one of them.

First of all, these 500 watts per unit sounded no more authoritative than the 100 watts per side integrated it replaced.

Secondly, even though I wanted to like them, I just could not get used to the sound. Pretty bad experience in my case.

I enjoy the Heat of pure class A operation in big class A older amps, keeps my family warm in the winter

Come on Keith come clean I know you live in Memphis Al.

Just how cold does it get in Memphis during the winter LOL

Ones assumes you mean if they aren't put together with coat hangers and bubble gum.

I guess it should be pointed out that I am looking at get peak levels of 105 db. (THX standard)

Hi davehrab, I live in mobile,Alabama, I was being humerous!, However, we did have a bad ice storm here last year that was rare!, we had about a month of below 20 degrees, thats cold to us down here, Honestly, I have no gripes about my amp getting as hot as it does, a none issue for me for the sound quality I get in return, I am happy with, sure there may be better, this is all I need, cheers.
