ASR list of known class D home audio amplifiers.

The McIntosh MI502 amplifier uses Class D Hypex modules (I can't find which), SMPS power supplies and has blue meters. $4500, 22 lbs.

They have 4, 8 and 12-channel Class D amps available also. Blue meters for 2 and 4 channel, while 8 and 12 get LEDs. They're sold as they are meant for install, but use standard home audio connections. I didn't look for pricing on the larger amps.

This is one we gotta get Amir to measure... 500 watts! I mentioned this in the 'Bose buys McIntosh' thread, but thought I'd post it here to get these into the database. :cool:

Which Artera? The Mono and Stereo are both current dumping designs, and the Solus Play doesn't appear to be class D either. https://quad-hifi.co.uk/products/platina-series has no details beyond 'Coming Soon...' and a front panel harking back to the FM4.
Thanks, my bad. The Platinums were their premier solid state from ten years or so ago. I have two of the monos. Current dumping A/B, as you say.
 
Creek 4040 A - Integrated with DAC. Infineon Merus based power stage with an output filter, unlike some of the Merus based amps. Power output claimed as 55W 8R, 110W 4R - duration and distortion not specified. 5W idle, <0.5W standby.
 
The now defunct Acoustic Realitymade several ICEpower based power amplifiers. The ones I can remember are:
eAR Enigma Plus
eAR 202
eAR 501
eAR 1001

I'm pretty sure the numbered ones later came in a REF version. From what I can read others said about the REF version is, that the only real difference was the 3x higher price.
