[QUOTE="LosIsATool, post: 8425185, member: 632125"] My take on it from my experience in direct swaps from good A/B to good D. Good A/B can be pushed and maintain good dynamics with headroom. Good class D amps don't like to be pushed to their limits. If you must go D like I had to this time get one with more power than you need to never push it to its limit. All the "test" done have the amps setup to sound the same. That can be done but you might be taking away from the good amps to make it happen. Think of it like a woofer since we all know how they work. Can you make pretty much any woofer sound good? Yes. To do it you might have to take away some of its output potential. If you tune a box for a flat response you have to take away some peak output. Same goes for amps. It takes less A/B power to match output of a class D because they can be pushed farther without issues. [/QUOTE]
