[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8212618, member: 628688"] If you guys don't know how to properly discuss differences between amplifier topologies it would be more helpful to not reply. Adding myths and vague generalizations is not helpful. AB vs full range class D has been discussed many, many times, and it's always people who have never heard a good sounding system using Class D amplifiers that say, "go with AB for sound quality, it's superior". Full range Class D comes down to proper design backed with testing before the amplifier ever goes to market. Some manufacturers do a better job of this than others. Use the same process of elimination you would use for any amplifier to decide which class D amplifier to buy. 1. Which fits in the space I have allotted for the installation? 2. What's a proven amp that a lot of people enjoy? 3. What's reliable?(see [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2"]#2[/URL] ) Generally speaking, if a lot of people enjoy the amplifier you're looking to buy, it may be a good one. Case in point, the Precision Power Phantom series is an extremely good value and the P900.4 and P600.2 also happen to sound very good. If you compare these to the PPI Black Ice line, you can't buy the same amount of power, and to get close the amplifiers are much larger(P900.4 vs BK800.4). [/QUOTE]
