I have to say that anyone claiming class D amplifiers to sound edgy and digital either have not auditioned one, or have not auditioned one blind. It's a same level of ignorance to claim tube amps sound terrible because of all the anomaly in the measurements.
So what do you think of Class D amp for subwoofers
I am curious to hear what folks think of Class D amplifiers for driving subwoofers. An interesting aspect of this is the switching frequency is ~1000x higher for the frequencies in question, as opposed to using a Class D amp for full range.
My home theater is Class D (Dolby 7.1) and my next major upgrade is replacing the amps with Class AB amps, although I will keep the low signal processing part of the amp.
In the high end system, I found a four channel, 450W into 8 Ohms Class D amp from Marantz to drive the four subwoofers. The price was right and I am not living in a fantasy land that it is a JC1 sitting there!
I have formed my opinions but I wonder if others share my opinions as well.
Thanks!
