What would your ideal Class D amp be if you could spec it yourself?

[Musicman20]

...and what powered cabs are recommended?

Obviously Berg IPs are no longer made.

Or into one of these?

Mmmm!! Very nice! - Though I'm having slight problems believing the two lil dudes hanging off the end of the PCB are capable of churning out 500W - 250W RMS I can believe. That said, I'd like to see some more info' on the kit though,

Hmmm... interesting - See what Carvin are bringing to the table in D Class world!

It is generally just the heatsink that is a big thing, which you need to add to that.

Tube pre, 4 band semi parametric EQ system, simple one knob compressor, volume, mute - maybe a small tuner. about 600 watts.

Happy as larry.

That BX1500 looks tasty and only weighs 10lbs Somebody send the schematic to SWR please as my SM1500 weighs 67lbs

Seriously though, I'd like a nice mono power amp, preferably in a module for that I could build into a cabinet (possibly my Schroeder 21012) to pair with my PJB Bass Buddy. Now that would be a nice little rig

[quote name='WalMan' post='1258900' date='Jun 6 2011, 08:39 PM']The problem with that is that in small gigs access to the mute pull on the LMT Master vol can be inaccessible, so a lead out of the tuner out to the tuner is fine EXCEPT you have no way of silent tuning.[/quote]
Bass -> Tuner -> Amp

I don't understand how that doesn't give you silent tuning.

It would, but you might really like the way your pre-amp buffers your passive bass signal and that would not happen with a tuner in line.

I just like amps with mutes. My Orange has zero bells and whistles but it sounds awesome. Everything else i expect lots of extra functions.
