I'm sorry to say I wimped out and, despite the low price and power efficiency, didn't try one of these, and opted for an older power hungry design. What did you get? I actually have an extra pair of the B&W speakers I got for my main system and was thinking of using them for the TV, but I don't want another clunky amp out there.
- saltcured 4y agoI might have been too casual with jargon here... I used class D as a name for modern IC switching designs in place of the old class A or class AB designs that traditionally provided decent fidelity. I guess there are really quite a few classes here now and I don't really know which I have. I bought a rather mid-level Yamaha home theater receiver with Dolby and DTS decoding back in the late 2000s, It is labeled as an HTR-6140 and must be discontinued for many years by now. It has a bunch of DSP scenes/modes. Other than wanting surround decoding and HDMI + TOSlink inputs, I did not geek out on specs. I merely assume it is class D because the whole receiver is pretty light, so no big heat sinks, and it doesn't seem to produce much waste heat compared to older receivers I've used.
