I don't know, how this is going to work...

Try the maker’s website... that’s usually a good start. Invalid Link Removed

Thanks for the link. I looked but didn’t have any luck finding this on my own.
That said, from what I can tell from the manufacturers site, the C series amp only goes up to 100 Watt model now.
Possible that they discontinued the larger ones in favor for the new line. I couldn’t find any archived info on the Acoustic website. Maybe my surfing skills are off today.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

They just updated their web. Cool Powerful cellphone with a big speaker!

Your opinion would probably be relevant or useful if you actually played through the amp. Otherwise it sounds like trolling.

It is not a hate. It is understanding how BS works.

I think you just showed your understanding, or what you are not understanding... sometimes it's better not to say something than it is to say something and leave no doubt in anybody's mind

We all know, you just want to sell your product. There are plenty of misinformed, ready to cash out whatever is fancy.

When I see "class D", I pull all of the blessed water, cross and garlic I can find...

Quit sniping at each other; thanks.

"Class D is BS, I won't buy it, crosses and garlic etc."

Mokay. You're free not to like whatever you choose not to like. You're welcome to your opinion.

Here's mine:
As a professional working musician, it does in fact matter that my gear work, well and reliably, and sound great.
I've been using nothing but Class D heads for something like 10 years now.
As with all products of every kind; there are better made, better performing ones, and, lesser made, lesser performing ones.
This holds true for every sort of amp and speaker, whether it's Class D, AB, neo speakers, ceramic speakers, etc.

 

[BadExample]

Full moon.

 

[agedhorse]

My gripe about this is that denigrating a player for choosing a class D amp by calling what they choose to play as BS is disrespectful.

I've designed tube amps, class AB amps (some big ones too) and class D amps. Each has their merits and I don't disrespect a player for choosing one over another. I do however object to inaccurate technical information when it comes to claims that one type is better than another.

Interested to know, have you actually gigged with a Class D amp? It’s just an amplifier type and they work ok...

Never. If I see it in the room, I walk away. It hurts my ears.

So even if some of us came here with info with correct links of the manufacturer's site ("I don't know" and "misinformed" you said), experience (long time Class D players), desginers (that only talk about concepts and tech details even naming other brands not involved in), and opinions, you still keep it as a personal fight against the Class D, based probably on an illness ("it hurts my ears"). What did you expect exactly to find here?

 

[Killed_by_Death]

I want a Class A negative, so that I can transfer my mojo to it.

I hope you never go and see any band that has a PA system. I know for instrument amps there are still people using class A/B, but I can't remember the last time I saw a non-class-d PA amp (or powered cabinet) in any venue from my local pub to the O2.

That's the problem, also. I cannot stand large concerts. Last time I went to one, my ears were hurting for a days. It was distorted and loud to the painful level. Same thing for smaller venues. Sound always very distorted.
It is not clear to me why people tolerate it?
Efficiency?
Saving energy? For what? For electric cars..

 

[Chef]

So:
Large concerts, small concerts, everything you hear sounds bad and distorted.

Might want to get your hearing checked, mate. That seems to be the one common factor.

I don’t take his opinion that “class d is bs” as a personal slag directed at me because I chose to use class d gear.
To quote The Dude:
“Like, that’s just your opinion, man.”

I’d also wager that in a double blind test, he couldn’t pick a class d amp out of a sonic lineup.

But, that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

If you are experiencing pain in your ears then you should see an audiologist - it is possible you have hyperacusis or something similar.

In the meantime check out some hearing protection to reduce the sound level at concerts? I just got myself some "Earpeace HD" plugs for rehearsals that get too loud.
