The OHM Speakers and Class D amp thread

I am interested to hear peoples experiences with OHM speakers and various Class D amps. I've found this to be a very synergistic pairing in my home and want to hear how others are doing with OHM speakers and various CLass D amp products, especially as the Class D amp technology continues to grow and evolve.

My Class D amps do similarly well with my other speakers as well and shares some similar traits among all but sound uniquely different in each case as well as one would expect.

Hi Mapman,

Based on your system and posts in the forum through the years I took the dive and put Red Dragon M1000 V1 Class D monoblocks with a pair of Ohm Walsh MicroWalsh Short SEs. My front end is heavy with tubes though. Before this setup I had a Hafler 9505 mated with the Ohm Walsh's and I really like the Red Dragon pairing ALOT more. More sparkle in the highs and the bass is more enjoyable.

I'm hoping others can chime in with their Class D amp pairings with their Ohm Walsh speakers.

Hey Mapman - enjoy your posts. I have a pair of Ohm 2.2000s (vintage 2 cabinets with new 2000 drivers) and await the arrival (tomorrow, Joaquin-willing) of a Class D Audio SDS 470C amplifier. Will let you know how it goes.

It's very early on, but so far I'm very, very impressed with the Class D 470. Expected the bass grip and power in the low end, but didn't expect the spaciousness and soundstage benefits. Timbres are very accurate as well. Hearing things out of my Ohms that I've never heard before. Very impressive.

No Ohm`s here BUT I do have a Class D Audio 470.
The width and depth is pretty amazing !

Even though Tom doesn`t believe in break-in, it will indeed improve after some time has been put on it.
Leave it on full time too.
