Layman's explanation of amp classes please ??

[rigger67]

Hey all
I was reading in here about a Krell Class A making such a difference to the new owner's system - apologies for not remembering the details - and it got me thinking about a pair of Atsah monoblocks I heard at my local(ish) dealer in Bordon a few months back. He blew me away with a pair of hybrid speakers streaming from his iPhone into these things - honestly, I will buy a pair of those things when I can afford them and I'll use my own Meridian monoblocks to power them.

The amps they stock are Class D.

So .. can someone explain to me the differences in classification please ?

Cheers Grant :)

This helped a lot - I was just wondering why there was A and D with seemingly nothing between, until I read the whole thing :eyebrows:
