Hey That's Not So Bad if It's Class D


 So I don't have an amp right now & was fiddling around in the kitchen with music playing from my Samsung big screen when I realized the sound coming from the living room wasn't too bad...Bass had good definition but no depth or impact,drums sound like drums but again no impact,I can tell Slow Hands Strat from BB's Gibson & Greg Allman 's latter years rasp comes through with just enough gravel......There's no low level detail but I attribute that to the internal speakers..
Epiphany!!! I am most likely listening to a modern Class D Amplifier in the Samsung...If it is indeed Class D color me impressed enough to explore  the tech further....

I had used tube amps for decades and on a whim decided to jettison my cranky SET amp for a Class D. I agree with Noble100’s comments but I recently returned to tube amplification because I found that Class D amplification created music that was not emotionally involving for me. I do not intend to return to the SS world although it does have it’s advantages if you like the presentation.
