Dont know if this is applicable or not,used on 2 way legacy speakers,sure the bass went deep,but it wasn't natural,and it wasn't any better then what comes out of my counterpoint,the counterpoint shows its bass entirely with whats on the recording,if its light on the recording that's what comes out if its good on the recording that's what comes out,class d seems to really bring out more then really whats on the recording,overemphasizes if anything.
So what do you think of Class D amp for subwoofers
I am curious to hear what folks think of Class D amplifiers for driving subwoofers. An interesting aspect of this is the switching frequency is ~1000x higher for the frequencies in question, as opposed to using a Class D amp for full range.
My home theater is Class D (Dolby 7.1) and my next major upgrade is replacing the amps with Class AB amps, although I will keep the low signal processing part of the amp.
In the high end system, I found a four channel, 450W into 8 Ohms Class D amp from Marantz to drive the four subwoofers. The price was right and I am not living in a fantasy land that it is a JC1 sitting there!
I have formed my opinions but I wonder if others share my opinions as well.
Thanks!
