I guess it really depends the source‘s quality.
Oftentimes digital (streamed) content is just awful and not worth being played on Hifi-gear, even if half as good as yours [emoji6]
I haven‘t heard these ls50, but they‘re praised a lot. Mine are the 101-2, with a Onix oa21, like them a lot, too! (Amp camp amp was not powerful enough, alas.
Might be - let me google it

They’re all ‘B’ listers I note. One way to suck in a few punters I suppose.
There are others.

How silly to think 5G is the cause of covid 19, it clearly is a prelude to an alien invasion!
Most notably by class D amps

Does anyone have any personal experience of class D amps sounding poor or compromised?
I'm interested in any criticisms of Icepower amps as I have speakers powered by them.
I've had them for two years, and cannot 'settle' with them, they produce so many surprises, and rather like my cat, are unruly in what they do.
I just about think I know them and then; 'Christ what was that?"
They are either super revealing, or, and I'm worried that this may be so, they may be seriously flawed.

Not as same pedigree as Icepower or Ncore and my hearing is not perfect. I had Arjen Helder Tripath TA2020, Cheap Chinese no brand TPA3116, TDA7498. TPA3116 only worked for few days. Still have TDA7498. All were good on midrange. Subjectively Best was tripath. But all lacked punch when driven loud on rock music. TPA3116 and TDA7498 has little bit hint of gritty sound.
Just out of curiosity, I would seriously like to hear powerfull Class D amp with 2nd harmonic generator.

Interestingly, the Devialet (600 Watts IIRC) was used to dried a pair of Graham Audio ‘Vote’ speakers and it collapsed. No can do.
On the other hand, a certain class AB amp rated at a mere 240 watts had no problems rattling the monster.
Ok, it is a very, very nasty load but said amp can deliver 60A peaks.

Yes.
Fine for subwoofers in hi fi systems. For concert sound reinforcement they can be fine.
Not good for critical listening in hi fi systems. Call them tizzy, grainy, distorted, whatever that sound is subjectively to a particular person.
To have the best idea of what they do, it helps to listen on an otherwise ultra-low distortion system. Then the audible contribution of the amp alone can be more clearly discerned.
Note: The foregoing is IME and IMHO only.

you are correct. Unfortunately I no longer have TA2020 with me neither the custom speaker that I used to connect with it.
I grew up listening to Class AB amp. So sometime I wonder how much that influences the preference. New development vs sound that one is used to.
