[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8214509, member: 587645"] i didnt read any of the rest of this thread, just the title and part of the first post. so sorry if this doesnt help you at all. ive ran class A/B, Class A, and Class D amps. all three on my front stage and ab/d on my subs. the information that follows is strictly MY opinion based on MY listening experience: on sub duty there was little difference between good quality D and A/B amps. the A/B had a slightly different sound, but im not sure how to explain it other than "better". currently im running a Class D substage amp, getting high powered A/B amps for sub duty requires a TON of space, over 24" long usually, and my install had space limits that i had to stick too. on stage duty the difference was pretty large when going from a mid level(old school) A/B to a class D(Zed Mikro IV) the class D actually sounds a TON better than the mid level Class A/B. but when comparing the D to a high end Class A/B there was virtually no difference. some things sounded different on each amp, but overall the sound was great from either. im running class D up front as well. if i had tons of space, electrical that could handle 300a of current draw, and i was rich, i would run Class A/B completley. as it stands, im more than happy with my amps. amps are one of the last things that contribute to a nice sounding system. Quality recordings, Source, Drivers AND install, all play a larger part than an amp. Matt [/QUOTE]
