And now class D Purifi amps take up 1/32 the space, cost, and energy to produce a cleaner, nigh distortion-free signal. What a world we live in.

Can you elaborate on this, please.? I have seen expensive amplifiers that weight about 10-20kg. How is it possible?

@@JW-wt8yu absolutely. Look into units that utilize the Purifi amplifier unit. NAD just released one but it’s overpriced because you are essentially paying for their pretty case, but is a good reference to see published measurements. There are a lot of other brands out there such as March Audio, BoXem, Audiophonics, VTV, etc that are all more or less the same as they have the exact same internals. Most have measurements available as well. Purifi is an extremely efficient, neutral, class D that adds no faulty colorations or audible distortions to the frequency range. Class A and A/B used to have a transparency benefit but are wildly inefficient and require massive toroidal transformers, adding to the weight of those units. Now better performance can be had via Purifi and NCore 500 class D amplifiers, for a lot less weight and cost. The other benefit is it runs significantly cooler than any class A or A/B ever will due to the extreme efficiency.

@@rumbepack some of them are not “power” amplifiers they are “integrated” with lighted VU meters. What’s the point? If hidden you can’t see anyways. If it hidden then the lighted VU meters would interfere with the home theatre display. Also while some are indeed power amps, the pre-amp has the large lighted VU meters. Seems a waste. One other issue is pertaining to heat. Not good to stack those type of McIntosh amps. Large chassis or heat sinks often mean amp can run quite hot. Part of the McIntosh appeal is the lighted blue VU meters so ideally they are used for home stereo listening where you can see not home theatre.

Not even close to cost no object. I have found, in practice, all 5 main speakers and amps should be the same. Subs matter and if circumstance allow, REL towers front and rear are about the best. Power should be isolated to the point that the whole room can be run on battery power. Not to mention grounding is important so your electrician should run a separate ground system for the HT while she does the wiring to your battery system or Stromtank.

I know you're joking, but oddly it's just the opposite. Most all pro audio amplification has moved to slim, lightweight, high power density designs. Slim, 1.7" tall, 4 channel 3kw/channel @4Ω 5kw/channel @2Ω There's also an 8 channel version, same output; 3kw/channel @4Ω 5kw/channel @2Ω Eight channels! Universal power supplies allow these little monsters can be fed with any voltage, single phase or 3 phase... from as low as 85v, up to 460v 3 phase. They exhibit a damping factor minimum of 5000@20hz! $15k each and worth it. As a FOH engineer, the trend towards lightweight high speed designs is nice. Back when I handled all my own gear, the shit weighed a ton. Nowadays, it's lightweight and crews handle it for me!
