In Reply to: "giant killing" class D amps? posted by thump on December 29, 2017 at 15:46:26:
i just ordered a breeze audio TPA3116 yesterday. it might not appeal to all of your romantic "listen to jazz vocals with your feelers" types, but i've always loved the open, NEUTRAL, clarity of class D myself starting with the $20 sonic impact that blew my NAD so far out of the water it wasn't funny.it will be replacing my "just as dead & lifeless sounding as NAD" technics, & power the JBL northridges i picked up for $50 for the pair new until i upgrade to a sabaj Da3 DAC, try out a little dot MkII tube preamp and start the final system with a pair of SEALED (!!!!!!!!) philharmonic audio mini-philharmonitors and build a system around their sound.
in the short term, i'll be happy to finally get some treble air out of the JBLs which actually sound nice as/is at low volumes nearfield, but i just don't like warm, veiled, polite, forgiving, rolled off treble sound.
i gotta have my cowbells!
you'll NEVER hear diana krall or any of that other foofy demo muzack on my system! led zep? talking heads? george clinton? yep! a lot of that toe tapping dynamic type stuff and SOME big band, bachelor pad, world beat & oldies... but most "lowly pop".
