Ya my ax930 was the most powerfull intigraded amp yamaha made back in 1990 it seen very little use pob only 100 hors on it only thing I had 2 do to it was get the signal board changed it blew a channel once but it's pretty much all original the guy who swapped the signal board for me Siad he coldest belive that it was in such good shape all the internals are in good shape but it's over 30 years old now and I want somthing newer but il never sell the 930 my hersey 4s sound awsome on it so the 4s are staying on the 930 and the chorus will get the power amp
Your Yamaha is class AB.
You think your Yamaha still sounds awesome, but you don't really know if it performs the way it did when new (not likely given its age).
Now I'm getting the idea you just want a more prestigious amplifier, not neccesarily one that will actually make a true difference in how your system sounds.
For that alignment, it’s going to have relatively linear time and as long as the phase is aligned, a passive network should be more than sufficient, unless the drivers have some peaks and nulls that have to be eq‘d flat. I really don’t see the need for a DSP at all, unless you want to spend more money.
Only thing is I only like the sound of class A amps I've tired calss b and d and didn't like the way they sound my 930 still sound awesome and gets em loud as hell I'm keeping tge heresy 4s on tge 930 and want a more power full amp for the chorus the anthem mca 225 is a class a/B with 225wpc rms plus its in my price range of 3k if I had the money I would go with a mcintosh amp but the one I want is 21k and Il never own that I want a good clean powerfull amp I was gifted a wimm ultra for my b day about a month ago and love it I'm gonna use that as my pre amp I've herd good things about the fosi audio amps as well v3 amps.
I would think a properly functioning amplifier over 100 watts would give you that.
Maybe try a Fosi Audio V3 with a 48v power supply (buy and return if you don't like it) or something similar for $100 to compare to your Yamaha.
The Yamaha is old enough I wouldn't use it as a reference point unless at a minimum the power supply has been rebuilt with new caps.
Yes ik they won't be any louder on a more powerfull amp I'm only looking fore cleaner power and clear sound I there loud as hell already and I verry rarely have em cranked to the point where ur ears are hurting
