T2 For Home Audio

No.

Class D is PWM technology, that is Pulse Width Modulation. In other words, 'digital.' Class H topology is a multi stepped transformer/power stage. So at low power levels, the power stage is fed from a lower winding, higher power uses a higher winding on the transformer.

Class D is not very good at reproducing high frequencies as that involves having the oscillator set to a much, much higer frequency, often beyond its limits. It also sounds 'clinical' and adds a sense of distortion to the overall tone. Class H is effecient and powerful, yet is still heavy, bulky and has its power limitations.

In short, Class D is good for low frequency applications where high end fidelity is not needed but a metric dickton of power is. Class H is common in many Pro Audio amps as it can drive almost anything you put on it, and do it well. And no, Class H is not improved class D. Lab.Gruppen's class TD and RF's BD is though. I still reccommend grabbing a TAPCO and throwing that on, one coil a side. Parallel the amplifier so that both sides of the amp recieve the same input, put both attentuators wide open and prepare for take-off.

Cheers,

ok that makes sense... i was planning on having the coils wired to seperate channels of the amp just like you suggested.. thanks for the help
