AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House


During the last decade i have managed to try in my home 95% of the Class D amps offered to the public these include the so called break thru offerings of the last year or two. While there has been progress the class D signature remained and this included what was lacking in class D amplification.

When i heard about AGD i thought here we go again because i had been there and done that so many times with class D but the GaN tech had me intrigued so i bought a pair of the Audion amps, i thought i would give class D one more go.

I received the amps two days ago and have about twelve hours of listening. From the first minute onwards these amps had my full attention. There is no connection between this class D amp and class D i have heard in the pass no connection what so ever. Forget classes A, A/B, D or whatever this is just an excellent sounding amp, it delivers music that belongs at the upper levels of Hi End audio reproduction.

It`s only been a couple of days of listening but i`m so taken back at the quality of sound i just had to share. I will add more the more i listen, good or bad.

Never mentioned 95 amps but 95%. If you really want to know or experience something you need to bring into your home and i do, i need to know for myself.

I was like you before i bought and brought these amps into my home.

These amps surprised me that`s all i can say.

Most of people don't even know how many class D amps are out there.  Do you?

How many class D amp have you listened to? Can you list them?
I can't believe the level of negativity in the responses in this thread.  This is one of the things that really afflicts the Audiogon forum.  One kind of post is made when someone gets a new piece of equipment, is excited about it, and wants to share with others.  People will stop sharing if this is the kind of reception they get.

Only one respondent has actually heard the AGD's.

One doesn't know the difference between 95 and 95%, and questions the OP's bona fides.

One dismisses all class D amps, despite the fact that the OP points out that for him the AGD is significantly different to most of the others.

Let's hope this is early days and that subsequent responses are more constructive, or at least more open-minded.
