Your “discovery” (for lack of a better word) doesn’t have much to do with how many watts you feed Omegas (within their limits) as much as how those watts are produced. Indeed, class A amps (tube and SS) have been the go-to recommendation. This recommendation stretches probably close to 2 decades now…which is LONG before good class D amps existed. Things have changed over the years and class D has come a VERY long way, especially with Hypex, Ncore, Gan. In general, what’s common between class A and class D (in my experience) is that their sound characteristics are consistent, starting with the first few fractions of a watt. Other amps, particularly class A/B don’t always have this kind of consistency. What I’ve found is that many such amps have to be pushed a bit to sound their best. Well…Omegas will not stress such an amp at all and this is a big reason why you almost never see anyone recommend a class A/B amp pairing. Anyway, thought you’d appreciate this bit of background info. I probably need to try a Gan amp one of these days…especially with summer coming and I don’t like running my class A amps in summer.
