Out of the shadows...

Hi, airtime,

Class D amps are no longer a fringe element; the technology has matured to where quality PWM amp modules are now incorporated into mainstream product lines for many highly regarded manufacturers. Not everyone agrees that they've reached the highest pinnacles of audiophilia but more and more audiophiles are buying them and enjoying the benefits of Class D amplification. They aren't just used as inexpensive subwoofer plate amps anymore.

I own a Class D amp and it was added as part of an existing stereo system; I didn't sell everything off to accommodate the amp.

As for "giant killers", I don't believe they exist, unless the giant was getting on in age and was already on the way out. :-)

Regards,
Tom
