Looks bellies the sound huh.
Hello guys, Class D amps are not inferior. They are just made differently to be more efficient for a particular band of frequencies. In fact, they cost more to manufacture than a typical class AB amplifier. For that purpose (in running a subwoofer), they give higher output and can be as efficient as 80-90% of usable power and runs cooler too. Furthermore, Class D amps allow you to run at lower impedance to double or even triple the power (2ohms or 1 ohm) which a typical non-high-current class AB amp can never do.
If you ask me: A branded 2ch class AB amp (non-high current) vs a branded class D monoblock. Which would i choose for my subwoofer duties? I would probably pick the class D monoblock. However, if I can find a good class AB monoblock, would probably go for that!
Some amps like TRU Hammer, Focal Solid 1, Zapco iforce i600 and Reference 500.1 are Class AB monoblocks. Yummy!
