In a word, no problem mixing a class D and AB amp. Especially not a problem on the tympani where slight time domain variations between the amps can be easily compensated with tiny changes to relative distances between the drivers..
I had no problem obtaining coherent performance and great imaging using a blend of class AB, tubes and class D amplification in triamping and biamping my Tympani IV and with its modified Neo8 mids..

I am leaning towards the Wyred4Sound mAmps with the Tympani IVs, in a vertical bi-amp arrangement. I'll hang on to the Adcom and MMGs for a while until I get used to the Tympani Sound.
Very highly regarded little amps at their price point. Very convenient form factor.
Satie,Two Wyred$Sound mAmps or one Crown Macrotech Reference for the same cost?

I would take the Crown Macro Ref. since it can do over 1KW into 4 ohms and has a deep bass that is very impressive. It is fairly easy to get around its thin high end signature with a tube preamp. And it drives anything while the mAmp is going to have problems below 3 ohms and has only 1/3rd the power.
It will be useful to have the extra power.
Thank you. I was leaning toward the Wyred4Sound as newer pieces, but the dealer was being difficult, so I will pursue the Crown.
The other thing that you would care about in owning a vintage amp is that there is a pro audio repair shop that can rebuild/service a Crown amp in practically every town.
