How are the good old and seemingly still quite popular Wyred Class D amps faring sound wise these days against the newer breeds?
I heard a newer Audio Research Class D amp at Lyric in NYC recently running a pair of mid sized Nola speakers.
The audition was too brief to draw any final conclusions but the sound was quite promising. Not sure I heard anything that uniquely distinguished it from others, but it seemed a solid performer. The Nola's were perhaps not quite my cup of tea in that I generally tend to prefer simpler designs with fewer drivers, so the overall coherency was not quite top notch IMHO based on the brief audition, but in lieu of more facts I would tend to not attribute that to the amp as much as the speakers.
