[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8301810, member: 628688"] I'm not an SQ competitor, but I feel I have a critical ear. I can hear differences between amplifiers, at least I have in my own testing, and I have no reservations about using all Class D in my car. The Precision Power and Clarion amplifiers I recommend don't color the sound. If you've read forum posts about people who have compared Class D to AB, often they complain that "something" is missing with Class D. I look to improving speaker locations, installation, choosing speakers that should give the type of performance I want, acoustic treatments, and DSP to give me something much more fun to listen to than a splash of color from an amplifier. Full range Class D makes more power for the same or less chassis size, it's more efficient, and in many cases your amp is small enough to install invisibly if desired. Not all Class D amplifiers sound good, so you want to pick one that is field tested and proven to be good. [/QUOTE]
