using class d amps in a 2.1 system.

smithie · 15th October 2011, 09:45 AM

hi all
im using a 2.1 music system(two small main speakers and a subwoofer).
im thinking of using a class d amp,i used one before and it sounded really good,the trouble is i use the hi-pass connection on the sub where it connects to the speaker outputs of the amp and with the d-amp i was using this just didnt work!
i dont want to use line level connection for the sub so thats not a option.
does anyone know of a very decent sounding d-amp or whatever that will work in this configaration and if so can you please tell me what they are.
many thanks
smithie

I'm using this one. Sounds great. Two old Realistic Minimus-77 and a small DVC sub. Great setup for near-field. Sure 4x100W @ 4 Ohm TK2050 Class-D Audio Amplifier Board 320-302
