Thanks, I thought about that after I posted.
It seems to me that finally people are embracing P.M.P.O watts!!
Ummm, no, please no...It seems to me that finally people are embracing P.M.P.O watts!!
For audio it usually means an amplifier that can "double down" in power as impedance drops. That is, an amplifier spec'd at 100 W into 8 ohms delivers 200 W at 4 ohms and 400 W at 2 ohms (amps are rarely rated to 2 ohms let alone below). That means the amplifier is not current-limited as impedance drops (to a point).
Speakers exhibiting low impedance may require higher current. A speaker rated at 4 ohms nominal needs more current than one rated at 8 ohms nominal, all else equal (e.g. same sensitivity). A speaker rated for 8 ohms nominal may benefit if it has low-impedance dips below 4 ohms (not uncommon these days). Ported speakers may have a low-impedance dip around the low-frequency port resonance, and ESLs have low impedance at high frequencies.
Not to disappoint but there are no plans for an 8ch versionWe already changed some mails ... waiting for the 8 channel version
Think you'll be able to get a monoblock to Amir for testing soon?
I plan on sending a 2ch to Amir sometime in June. Filling orders comes first.
Unfortunately I don't have plans for this, even on a custom basis.
Rock on! Thanks for the quick follow-up as usual. I'll attempt to contain my excitement for another couple of weeks.
I'm wondering how long companies like Mac, D'Agostino, Boulder, and all the tube companies are going to hold on to Class A or A/B when you can generate so much clean power from such a small, affordable, and efficient design from Class D. Maybe they like to have some coloring of their sound? Perhaps, but the masses are slowly starting to wake up to audio quality and are demanding more of it and Class D at this level of power and affordability is going to be very hard to beat in the future once the masses learn about it.
