I’m trying to decide whether it would be worth getting a ZA3 for mono functionality or if a Fosi V3 driving just a single speaker would suffice?
Background: I was going to get one A07 Max for the Center speaker, because of its bridged function. However, after Amirs review, I put that plan on pause. I noticed it doesn’t actually provide significantly more power in bridged mono than when driving 2 channels, only a modest 10-20% bump. And those stereo power output measurements are also not in and of themselves much higher than what the Fosi V3 can already provide in stereo anyways.
Question: do you think the Fosi v3 would experience the same type of small 10-20% bump in power output if I only drove my single center speaker from them? Even though it lacks any bridged “switch”? Because I think that would be sufficient power, and then it wouldn’t make sense to wait for the ZA3 and pay more for it too
I know in AVR measurements, which are usually class A/B, the power output drops as you add more and more channels. I’m wondering if that same principle applies here to these Aiyima/Fosi class D’s?
