Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you?

DC offset can harm your tweeter, depending on the tweeter design and degree of DC Offset

DC offset present in class D amplifiers and all other amplifiers which do not use output capacitors e.g. Plinius.

Before you purchase your amplifier check the specs. Spectron' specs is 10 mV but as a rule its 3 - 4 mV and its all harmless e.g. drives very well Vandersteen speakers.

When discussing different class D amplifiers, my suggestion is to pay more attention to the power supplies which drive it. There are a number of factors influencing class D amp sound We have posted a paper on our web site which hopefully provides some light:

Every single person will give you a different opin,One, dont believe everything you hear EVEN from me.but for me i couldnt stand them,way way to much bass,,after i listened for a few months , i cant pin it down in audiophile words ,,,but i could not stand them,was the amp system dependent i dont know,but they didnt work for me,

Coffey,

Which one(s) did you try?

I think you are the first person I have heard allude to too much bass as a result of a Class D.

Mine are certainly not lacking in that department, though they sounded relatively lean in comparison to my prior non class D amp at first. I attribute that to the very high damping factor, which works well with my OHM speakers in particular to deliver tight clean and articulate yet powerful bass.

I could see where it might be considered too much in some cases like as a result of some bass heavy room acoustics maybe or other factors upstream that affect bass levels.

"dont believe everything you hear EVEN from me "

EVEN from HIM !

Still, I love my Spectron amp, love its seductive musicality, love its effortless presentation.

Read professional reviews and amp owners reviews and then and only then ask for the amp. Spectron, for example, provides 30 days money back guarantee. I am sure many other manufcturers too.

All The Best

Regarding Class D application and DC offset...I discussed this with Richard personally, and just found a pertinent entry on the Vandersteen website...in the technical section. You have to wade through lots of entries, but you will find the DC offset entry there. It just might be easier to call Vandersteen and speak to him personally.....you will find him a knowledgeable, and fine person to talk to. I am running Ayre amps which have a protection circuit to turn off the amp if it senses any DC offset.
