What do you think so far?
What is your favorite Class D amp?
Moving to a new home with a smaller dedicated listening room has caused me to rethink my entire system. I have always been a fan of EL34 tube amps and presently have a Primaluna HP (4 tubes per channel), but the size and heat make this a bit more difficult in my new set up. So I have been thinking about going with a smaller, less hot class D amp. But being a tube guy, I have never seriously looked into or listen to these amps.
so what is your favorite class D amp? New or used, in the 5k range, but could go up to 10k. Preamp is a Conrad Johnson ET-7. Speaker will be in the monitor/mini-monitor class (so I don’t need high power for a smallish room) but have not made my final decision on speakers as the amp/speaker synergy makes this kind of a joint decision.
I purposely asked for “favorite” to be a bit more open in your relies.
thanks, Bill

Congrats on the new Class D monos. I own a pair in one of my systems and while they are by a considerable margin the least expensive component within it, they are not a weak link. They are very, very good. Please do note that they take a long time to fully break in. While they sound good out of the box, they sound significantly better and are stabilized after several hundred hours - and probably best after 500 or so. Enjoy! |
@evank - as fate works out, I set them up Thursday then hopped on a plane Friday to visit family and go to a football game. It may take a few weeks for me to have spend serious time listening .

@mgrif104 - I ended up buying a used pair from TMR, so they should be broken in. |
