[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2900388, member: 555320"] Most of the time multi-channel amps are class A/B. Class D/T multi-channel amps are [I]typically[/I] denoted as such by the manufacturer or in their literature somewhere (mainly for marketing purposes, IMO). But, the main reason I'm responding is because you mention "high current amps". Keep in mind there's no official or industry-standard definition as to what is considered a "high current" amplifier (that I'm aware of). It's a marketing term and little else. [I]Typically[/I] it's used in regards to amps designed to make power into lower impedance loads (such as 1ohm, since as impedance decreases, output current increases....hence the current output is "higher"). But there's no definition of the term, no classification of which amps can be or can't be "high current" amps. It's based on marketing. So don't let the term fool you into classifying "high current" amps together as some sort of special or officially designated category as the term itself is meaningless. [/QUOTE]
