let's just say that most of my favorite high-end amps are AB (or A) designs, and not too many are Class Ds. So you see, the BasX A-100 isn't just another me-too budget amp, not by a long shot.

The Cambridge Audio EXA100 is a Class AB amplifier that outputs 100 watts per channel. It borrows technologies from the company’s flagship Edge M amplifier — including the same power transistors — and ...

Both speakers have a 160-watt amp for the bass woofer, 100-watt amp for the midrange and a 40-watt Class AB amp for the tweeter. You'll find XLR and RCA inputs, while the addition of an ELAC Discovery ...

(Note that no amplifier is 100% efficient, so there is always some wastage of the input energy, but that isn’t significant in what we are describing here.) Amplifiers are rarely used at full volume, ...

However, consider a 100 W example in terms of power loss ... Class D is now poised to supplant medium power Class AB audio amplifiers in the near future.

On the other hand, a four-pin amplifier could isolate the circuit’s input and output. Using optoisolators, you can design a four-pin Class AB amplifier. Although the output voltage of an optoisolator ...

[Dino Segovis] wrote in to tell us about his “hack”, making an AB Audio Amplifier. The advantage of this particular amp is that the transistors never turn off, which would cause distortion.

The standards for these tests differ across companies. There are 2 kinds of amplifiers used to generate the output power, class AB and class D amplifiers. The shift to class D was mainly the result of ...

While all of the output devices in a Class A amplifier are conducting 100% of the time, Class B amplifiers utilize a push/pull arrangement in such a way that only half the output devices are ...
