Digital
Amp Comparison 2006
This
little get together actually compared the latest digital, semi-digital,
class D, class T, switching amps and the like. The aim is to help
promote the use of these new amps, the companies, and to give
some feedback as to how they compare. This technology may well
represent the future of all entree level, mid-fi level, two channel,
and home theater amplification. Some may even over take some of
the big names in the high end market.
Special
thanks to all the companies that sent amps. Without them none
of this would have been possible.
