Hey Waz,
You are correct that class D is also solidstate. I suppose a better comparison would have to do with the different classes you mention.
Another aspect is the status of the signal chain. In some systems it is possible to have a fully digital signal chain. I could see that this might be an advantage, but I bet few people have such a system. One day that might be the only way to do things.
Funny you mention the Pass. I have been struggling with what to do with that thing. It is a fantastic amp. I have no problems with its sound quality. But it runs hot and draws a ton of power even at idle. Wanting to biamp, I find myself in a quandary. See I COULD get the 5 channel pass amp the X5 to match my current amp. Then I could biamp and run dual subs. I am sure it would sound great, but the heat and power issues would be increased. I could just suck it up and deal with that.
I was looking at one of the Cary digital amps. I could buy 3 of these for the price of the 5 channel Pass.
But I am afraid that if I move to a digital amp that the sound quality just wont be there. Also, if I were to go that route, it would make more sense to get one that accepts a digital signal and get a new sound card that outputs 6 channels of digital and still use the PC as a crossover.
What to do Waz, what to do.
