Finally, The Class D Holy Grail?

Didn't anyone else notice the high THD at its rated power? Output Power 450W @ 1% THD, 4Ω, yet they claim it sets a standard for power amplifiers of any class...

That's not very impressive from my perspective.

Standard way of spec'ing, for engineers' benefit - it tells them how much power it can deliver at the onset of clipping, 1% means that you've reached the limit of the design.

 

The distortion just prior to that level tells the story - this is exactly how a good design should behave,

 

In my opinion it would be more realistic and impressive to quote this amp at 300W into 4 ohms with <0.001% THD+N.
