Class A/B or D amps

Here's a pic of the new monitors. Plus the RCA connections are gold plated so that's better than nickle plated ones that the M-Audio has. They also only use 22 watts of power and thay are Class B amp.

dont go for power consumption, go for sound. the amount of power we are talking about is miniscule to start with. refrigerators and heaters use WAY more than audio equipment.

for unpowered speakers, the class d amps to look at are channel islands audio d200s and spectron musician. google those and read the reviews. also, the absolute sound forum has a subject on class d amps:

that should provide enough reading on the subject for quite a bit of your time.

my friend has cia d200s. i had heard them on $60k von schweickert speakers and was dumbfounded that speakers of that price could sound so good at such loud levels for an amp costing $2300 for 200wpc!!!

Well I actualy think the best sounding and the most power saving monitors are the M-Audio AV-20 since that use Class D and plus they sounded the best when I listened to them so I' am getting the AV-20 back and keeping those.

I just got these headphones and they sound really flat and clear for the price. Coby CV-790.
They have 50mm neodymium drivers that's really great.

Here are some specs for these studio headphones.

I know one thing for sure is that I will save money keeping the M-Audio AV-20 and keeping the Coby CV-790 studio headphones. Plus both the headphones and monitors sound really good and clear as pro.


Here is a PDF file for more details for my new headphones.
