I'm looking for my next class-D amplifier. I already have a 20 watt cheapie with preamp and all in a reasonable case. I think I need a little more power and will try some 50-watt variant, maybe without preamp this time. I'm trying to make a three-channel system out of a two-channel system. It seems it shouldn't be rocket science to do so. I do find the center channel helpful for dialogue and presence, but am unwilling to compromise two-channel performance. I see nothing wrong with class-D for home theater.
i think those of us who love class D are more in the "clinical detail freak" camp than the "lush & liquid" crowd.
class D & acoustic suspension sounds sterile to them, while ports & tubes sound thick & distorted to us, or at least me.
system balance counts though.
NHT superzero x NAD = bad, lifeless wet blanket sound
NHT superzero x panasonic SA-XR = ALMOST acceptable cowbells
energy RC10 x SA-XR = hyperdetailed, slightly analytical sound that LITERALLY, and pun intended, doesn't sound as believably liquid as NHT/SA-XR on baka forest people's water drums 1, but kicks much butt on ALL percussion (a top priority for me)
energy RC10 x cambridge audio = beautiful easygoing, slightly lush, sound ignoring the RC10's chose your poison... port resonance, or cabinet resonance plugged no win scenario
Well if you are making up your own group data , the results is whatever you say it is ..:)
