Coffey - Funny that you mentioned Coda because president of Coda in letter to Stereophile after the review (that compared CODA S5 to Bel Canto class D amp) said they are very happy that S5 looked good in comparison with such great amp as Bel Canto. I can dig-out exact quote if you like. Stereophile in another review of Channel Island D-100 (class D) said that it has even ("head to head") performance with CODA S5. There is still chance that Stereophile and other reviewers are deaf but president of CODA? Do you think he is deaf? Frightening..
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!
