Oh Boy! Who do they get to write this stuff anyway?

"The proprietary DIAMOND (Dynamically Invariant Amplification Optimized Nodal Drive) transconductance driver stage combines the linearity of Class A operation with the ample headroom of a Class B system and provides an increase of up to 14 dB of dynamic range in front end."

and:

"The Trans-nova patented output stage (Transconductance Nodal Voltage Amplifier) configured for "power gain" allows simpler front-end circuitry for better sound."

This months candidate for the coveted "Little Yellow Button" award?

thanks for the heads up dean!

but i think i'll stick with my carver professional ZR1000 digital amp..... goes for about $800 brand new online with very similiar specs to the fosgate amp you listed....

http://www.carverpro.com/zramps.html

20Hz to 20kHz <0.5% THD+N

700 watts mono (8ohm)RMS

300 watts x 2 (4ohm)RMS

225 watts x 2 (8ohm)RMS

if you need more power - the ZR1600 goes for less than $1000 online....

20Hz to 20kHz <0.5% THD+N

1200 watts mono (8ohm)RMS

600 watts x 2 (4ohm)RMS

350 watts x 2 (8ohm)RMS

by the way - i KNOW that the carver ZR amps sound great with horns - at least they sound great with KLF-30's!!!!!.... haven't had the chance to hear a fosgate amp before....

I heard one of the Hafler Trans-nova amps in the middle 80's and thought it sounded great. OTOH, I have no idea how the design would do with our horns. They were pretty pricey at the time compared to other things. Heavily discounted the way it was, I thought it might be a good pick up for someone on the fence trying to make a decision on a high powered amp.

With all the fuss revolving around the small Tripath amplifiers, I would love to hear your CarverPro.
