The Ghent Class D amps are apparently very popular in the US and Europe but haven't heard too much about them over here. Purchased a couple of years ago to power a second system, I'm moving shortly and won't have room for said system so unfortunately it's got to go.
Incredibly energy efficient (uses 20w to kick out a maximum of 550w!) and offers both balanced and single-ended modes. Nice, clean case too.
Pertinent detail from the original advert:
This uses 2x Class-D B&O 125ASX2 ICEpower modules each operating in bridged-balanced mode.
It's very similar to the [much more expensive!] Bel Canto REF500S Dual Mono Amplifier.
This is the latest version with updated SE-Bal converter boards.
Specs:
Maximum Power Output: 550w 4 ohms, 275w 8 ohms, per channel
Power Output 1% THD: 450w 4 ohms, 225w 8 ohms, per channel
Minimum Load: 3 ohms per channel
Peak Output Current: 30 amperes
Frequency Response: +/- 0.15dB 20Hz-20KHz, All loads
THD+N: 0.003% 1W, 100Hz, 4 ohms
IMD (CCIF): 0.0003%(BTL), 10W, f =18.5kHz, 1kHz, PO =10W
Output Noise: 35uVRMS(BTL) A-weighted 10Hz-20KHz
Voltage gain:: 30.7dB(BTL)
Damping factor: >1000
Output Impedance at 1KHz: 18 milliohms
Dynamic Range: 121dB(BTL)
Input connections: RCA or balanced XLR
Output connections: 2-sets of safety sockets (banana plug compatible)
Power On usage: 19W
Power Off usage: 0.0W
Internally Set Operating Voltages: 100-120VAC or 230-240VAC 50/60 Hz
Size: 7.5 x 2.8 x 12.2”, 190 x 70 x 311mm (W x H x D)
