[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 321650, member: 540940"] How did we let this slip?? It might if that's what how a class D worked. There is NOTHING -- NOTHING -- "digital" about a class D amp. I don't think anyone knows for sure why people started calling class D's digital. But the popular story is that since the power supply in a constant switching mode - on/off/on/off - someone somewhere along the line said -- Oh, like a computer - 1/0/1/0/1. And since a lot of consumers will jump on anything with the word "digital" in the description - it stuck. Class D's do nothing digitally. Yes crossover slopes may allow you to tell the difference between 2 amps, but it would only be your opinion if you said 24db/oct x/o's sound BETTER than 12db/octave. Because the next guy that comes along might prefer 6. No one can say a crossover is a crossover, but it CAN be said that power is power. [/QUOTE]
