Class D


Been thinking of trying a D amp to reduce clutter. Most that I see are not rated at 2 ohms.  My PSB Stratus gold's will drop to 3 ohms or lower at some frequencies. So my question is will these types of amps handle this impedance ?
Thanks in advance. Chris

For one it was done at very low power, would be much worse at normal power


There you go georgehifi, illustrating that YOU do not understand how electronics work and how Class-D amplifiers work. Signal level will have 0 effect on this. There is something that will though.

And here is the distortion of a very good amplifier:

Makes your "good linear amp" look like a 1970’s discount Realistic Receiver.

And if you can't see that that 10KHz square wave is a quite good square wave, then you are even less "aware" of audio/signals than I thought.

And Ralph search is your friend, you might want to be reminded, that you were anti GaN fets way back at first, they are still the same ones buddy.
You are quite correct. When you first commented that GaNFETs didn't need a heatsink in an evaluation circuit, I didn't believe you. But I followed the link you provided and promptly went down the rabbit hole learning more about it. So you can rightfully take credit for that.


What is puzzling here is that even though you knew that bit about heatsinks, most of the rest of it is a complete unknown to you. For example, if I were to ask you, 'what is the **main** advantage of GaNFets?', what would be your answer?

If you answered 'speed', you would be incorrect. GaNFets have lost their speed advantage over MOSFETs, which have continued to improve since GaNFETs were introduced.
