    Default Any a/v with Class A, A/B and D in one?

    Are there any recievers with Class A, A/B and D amps all in one?

    I have the Pioneer Elite SC-05 with Class D ICEpower amps. Usually Class D amps produce excellent dynamics, clarity, and especially image focus on familiar recordings, solid soundstaging and well fleshed out, three dimensional, stable images. However, like all Class D amps I’ve heard, they also sounded somewhat dark and lacked the air, transparency, and full palette of harmonic colors that even modestly priced non-switch-mode Class A and A/B amps deliver with ease. I heard some gorgeous sounding prototype Pioneer Class A monoblock amps at CES a couple years ago.

    Is it safe to say that Class D amps are better for movies/tv/sports and Class A and B amps are better for music for vocal accuracy and instruments?

    Wyred 4 Sound does class D the right way. It's the best sounding amp I've had in my rig so far.
