Running MiniMe in bi-amping, even though I get better result by simplistic means, I realized that it is hardly how I would like to end this project. Ideally the whole MiniMe shell be driven by one good SS amp running in A/B. If someone know any small-size, more or less palatably sounding, 50-150W and cool-running such an amp then let me know and I will give it a try.  It is it really good then I would not mind to spend money if it able to care sound well. The WAC amps? I know they did a lot of tube amps, and in fact I like their small and chip ingrate amps but I do not think they do SS things.

Have you ever heard a class D amp that was worth using?  I haven't.  You could probably save time by just sticking with PP, maybe save $ by getting a used one.  Some of those VACs are OK, for instance.

This returns us to the class D amps. I would certainly not even consider to us them foe MF channels but they might be OK for bass, in context of MiniMe-level bass.  I can’t say that heard a class D amp that was worth using. The few that I heard were jokes, but I did not invest a lot of time to dig into the subject deeper. I did consulted with the people and was explained why the properly operating class D amp might not be built even theoretically, at least today. It was convincing and very believable. Those limited Class D exposure that I hear were good proofs of that believe.

What however very much distract me in an idea to consider the class D amp for a full-range use are the users who use them and who claim that they are good. I am not stating that anyone who use class D amp a full-range are idiot but I have to testify that I do not know quite a number of audio-idiots and they surprisingly have tendencies for a full-range class D amplification. The story with full-range “yellow” drivers, not to mention the horizontal–wave propagation drivers keep repeating itself. According to Gödel it is always possible to bring a coordinate system of reference points where even a fart of a World's smallest monkey would be condensed as a musical even worth intellectualizing and reproducing. Pay attention who borough the subject about the wonderful sounding class D amps to this site? It was “angeloitacare” who was not a person but a freaking diagnose. The guys who make class D amp posted on their site links to my site targeting the angeloitacare’s idiotic comments about class D amps. I was forced to delete those posts as I did not what to have idiots to visit my site. So, audio out there is an army of fucking angeloitacare’s, some of them do Audio for years and some of them even publish magazines and run websites. If you know that the person is an idiot and if you know that s/he vigorously advocates a thing then there is a high probability that the thigh to be a crap and it is most likely that your expectation are not very far from what it is. If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck… then it will sound like a quack.
