Subwoofer Class A/B vs D Power Amplifier


Hello All,

I’m in the market for the subwoofer for the small room. Right now I am looking at Rel T/5i and JL Audio D108. Rel uses Class A/B power amplifier ($599 & made in China) vs JL Audio uses Class D power amplifier ($799 made in USA). Is there any difference between Class A/B vs D?  I want to use it in 2 channels music system.  Thanks in advance!

The REL T5 is great for a small room. They are so good and blend so well that you don’t need to use 4 of them. One is fine, two is better, but it depends on your music.

The JL will likely overwhelm a small room.

I like to keep amp classes both Class AB, but that is a personal preference, similar to how I like paper cones more than aluminum cones.
