In my usual roundabout way of seeking audio nirvana, I've bought another AV Receiver to play various versions of old but recently remixed (or new) music in 5.1 audio, which is why this question is in the HiFi section.
It's a Class D AVR, and it does sound rather good, but it still gets somewhat warm when I rotate the dial towards 11.
So Class Ds still generate lost energy as heat, just not so much as A-B etc.
I was expecting no heat at all - this is excellent, as I can still reduce the electricity bill, AND listen to loud multichannel music, AND heat the house this winter.
Are there any 'HiFi' good Class D active subwoofers at reasonable prices please?
PS I'm bi-amping the Mission 753s from the AVR as main L and R, and they respond nicely to 220W per channel into 6ohms
