Hi Dylan. Peak power is the same as the RMS constant power value on a class D with switching power supply? I mean to say that the power supply regulates the voltage and so the peak is the same as RMS power?
 
48A output current. Do I have to upgrade my home electrical wires to run two of em ? I'm thinking the new Arendal monitor or bookshelf would give this a workout.
 
I can guarantee you that the "Arendal monitor or bookshelf" would not give this amp a workout. Perhaps a very light warmup jog...

Now if you want to play with some Apogee or Maggies you might get the amp to at least sit up and notice.
 
I guess I don't need all that power lol, but need at least 300 watts to sound real nice. I originally tried to power them with an AVR but was pretty disappointed.
 
I've been running a Crown XLS 2502 with a Dbx 131s EQ on my 15 inch sub for a couple of years now.

Does anyone feel there would be a noticeable change by moving over to this amp?
 
An update regarding the current tariff situation:

Unfortunately, due to the current 10% baseline tariff on all goods coming from the EU (which affects both our Hypex and Purifi components) we are finally forced to raise prices on all of our amps to offset. The price increase will not be severely drastic and, for most customers, should not affect the price vs. performance of our amplifier lineups.

This decision was not made lightly and is something I have been wrestling with for a few weeks. It might surprise most that we have not raised any of our amp prices for nearly 2yrs, even in the face of slight cost increases and inflation. But with our main components now affected, it is unavoidable.

Even with the price increases, I still believe we are poised as the audiophile for the masses brand we have always strived to be. And with this situation being fluid, prices can always come down if the current market situations change. We will also be exploring opportunities to lower prices in the present atmosphere, if possible, through higher purchasing power and/or manufacturing sources.

Thank you everyone!
