Class D amps,bang for your buck ones


Hello

First off,

I don't know much about class D amps, I did buy a Sonic Impact T-amp from Parts Express once to play with, I returned it because I don't have the speakers for it.

I did manage to hook it up to a pair of BIC Venturi horn speakers, and was floored with the clarity of the amp.

Those speakers had so many problems that I just didn't want to monkey with them, bad x-overs with busted pots,only sometimes could I get them to work right.

So, this leads me to my question.

Whats a high value class D amp with some hp/balls to drive normal speakers?

I'm looking for the Forte 4 of class D's, assuming (class D)is a tripath based/type amp.

Any suggestions or comments welcome.

I have an Accuphase pre and a minimax pre to use.

Thanks

I have acquired a W4S ST-250 amp, and LOVE it!!
I'm going back and forth between that and the Virtue right now and it's driving me crazy.

They're both soo good...

What to do?

I'll enjoy both.
I just purchased a Wyred4Sound SX1000 and preamp - maybe have ten hours on them. They are much superior to my old Krell S300i with 300 hours on it.

The W4S do not sound materially different overall, but there is certainly much more detail, much more width, and much more depth.

There sound is more palpable and that makes it feel more live.

It will be interesting to hear the improvement after another 100 hours.
Channel Islands Audio D 500 are a must hear if your considering class D (or anything else for that matter)
