Class D amplifier design? Hello, Can anyone please recommend a book or a site that will help me in the design of a Class D switching amplifier that can play both low and high frequencies. Thanks.

What are the disadvantages of hooking up a high end set of components to a Class D amplifier? Ok, I know higher end A/B amplifiers have the high pass crossovers built in to the amp and usually have the 12/24 octave option. My question is if you have have a high end component system, would feeding it raw power from a Class D amp have any adverse effects on your components. For arguement sake let us say we use my favorite brand of components, Focal, and hook up a set of the Focal K2P components to a 2 channel Class D amp rated at 100watts x 2 @ 4ohms. The Focal component set includes crossover, tweeter and midrange and is rated at 100watts RMS @ 4ohms (per side). If someone were to purchase a Class D amp with no type of crossover or maybe even only a low pass crossover built in (optional to use if you choose), will the crossover in the component set ensure that the components are taken care of? Your thoughts guys??? If the crossover in the component set takes care of everything then why don't we use Class D for everything given they are more efficient... Alpine - If I had the power to delete your answer I would. But I guess I'm just going to have to thank you for your educational and much appreciated elaborate answer... r0llin - Where is your proof? How can you come at me with a response like that with no reference or any kind of back up to support your arguement? Sounds like your just making assumptions based on your inexperience. Can anyone intelligent that knows what they are talking about answer this question? Sparky? Can you and your A.S.S degree help with this question? Sparky - By god that is exactly what I was thinking. Power is power.
