Thank You for the info. I always use more power than is suggested.
I had always used a least 200 watt SS amps and then one day when I had some Vandersteen 3A's I was given two Classe M700 mono block amps to try out. I will never forget how big of an improvement they made and how real the system sounded. This was the best I every heard my system sound.
The reason I asked the question was due to maybe the Horns and the Class would not be a good match sound wise, maybe a little to bright sounding?
I did notice at first when I used the Crown XLS 1502 in my system it was more bright than my EDGE M8 amp I was using for years. Just don't want to buy something that will not work sound wise with this project. Or I can just get the Schiit Aegir 2 Class A amp.

Don't worry about matching Class D with horns - a good Class D will offer as exciting a listen as a good SET at 3 times the price. Don't go for a cheapo amp though as I mentioned earlier in this thread.

If in doubt, try to get a demo unit for a week or so. Top brand dealers such as NAD or T+A should be happy to arrange but unlikely if you are thinking of basic stuff offered on eBay etc.

  Thank you for the info. I will start saving looking into a nice Class D amp for my Project.
