[QUOTE="thch, post: 2863837, member: 562032"] I've had the same experience, twice, and with conflicts. I switched from a class D amp to a class AB amp. things sounded better. the bass had better attack and sounded better, all that jazz. a large class AB amp is not efficient, especially when run below rated power, and I grew sick of the dimming it caused. (light dimming even on moderate volumes) so I switched back to the class D amp. suddenly the music was once again clearer and had a crisp, defined quality to it. of course, my goal each time was not to prove one amp sounded better then another. My goal was to acheive good sound. in both cases, the re-setting of gains, crossover, EQ, and other settings was done. Further, I don't always listen to the music I prefer to set my car up with. so the test was clearly not scientific. [/QUOTE]
