Got new speakers

WTH is "Class H"?

You guys should have just recommended he upgrade to Bose... You just *know* that is what he is going to wind up with someday anyway based on his requirements for "good" sound. At least with Bose we don't have to educate SVI on phony specs.

(Mike walks into the room. Sees LJ smoking an old pair of socks. NAB's head is blown off. Maybe it's from the two speakers he has jammed up his butt? Speedy is talking about something being right up Spanky's alley. There's a kinky poster on the wall of Dino in cuffs)
(Does NOT turn arround, but slowly backs out of the room while making a cross with two fingers)

horrendous


Bose for SVI? He'd never go for that, no published specs.

WTH is "Class H"?

Class H and Class G amplifiers are marked by variation of the supply rails (in discrete steps or in a continuous fashion, respectively) following the input signal. Wasted heat on the output devices can be reduced as excess voltage is kept to a minimum. The amplifier that is fed with these rails itself can be of any class. These kinds of amplifiers are more complex, and are mainly used for specialized applications, such as very high-power units. Also, Class E and Class F amplifiers are commonly described in literature for radio frequencies applications where efficiency of the traditional classes deviate substantially from their ideal values. These classes use harmonic tuning of their output networks to achieve higher efficiency and can be considered a subset of Class C due to their conduction angle characteristics.
