...not a lot of power from VTV/Purify considering these are Class D amps. 420wpc at 4 Ohms probably translates to about 1/2 that at 8 Ohms.... around 200wpc. [Compared to much more powerful Class D amps from Wyred4Sound, PS Audio, Rogue Audio, etc]. Power isn't everything but that's what the O.P. was asking for and Class D is known for high power at reasonable cost. At around 200 wpc [at 8 Ohm] for VTV/Purify I'd be looking at more traditional Class AB amps instead of Class D. When it comes to Class D amps, go big or go home [or go AB]. Just my thoughts on the topic ;-)

- That's a personal choice, but there's no reason to shun class D under 200 wpc - Feanor 12:02:47 07/13/22 (0)
