I am very very pleased with my two channel system using a Marantz AV8801 as a preamp to my Bel Canto 500m monoblocks. Also in an enclosed cabinet (Salamander), and I have no worries about heat. Prior to the bel cantos I used adcom and B&K amps (200wpc) and moved to the BCs for the extra power and the heat factor. I think the Marantz and Bel Canto work well together. B My cabling was all Nordost but I did change my speaker cables to Acoustic Zen Holograms for a fuller sound with the BCs.
Suggestions for Class D amplifiers with Marantz AV7704 and B&W cdm9nt combo for HT.
I am considering class D options for a multi channel HT setup. Partly because of where the amps have to go ( enclosed cabinet. Not sure if fans will be enough to keep other amps cool enough.
I acquired a Marantz AV7704 and plan to use my current speakers ( B&W cdm 9nts and mated surrounds etc ) and so last piece is the amp.
Are the current class D amps capable of reproducing solid sound quality across the board?
Used is okay. I was looking at:
wyred4sound
Red Dragon
ATI Hypenx
Will any of these mix well with my setup? If so - what else would you suggest to make the most of the gears? Certain fuses, power cords, ICs, etc... suggestions welcomed.
Are there other class D solutions that are a better fit?
