I will confirm this sounded fantastic. My 4.2's never had it so good!
How good are Class D amplifiers now?

That was a good link to read, and I agree that Class D has come a long way and now down in price as well - a bargain as far as I can see. Will definitely be experimenting with this in the near future.
No free range tomahtos?Maybe an Ohio shooting range. Need to use the tomato cages for something when the tomatoes are done for the year.
I repurpose

I found a pair of 4.2s for sale over by Chicago.
They may be mine in a couple of weeks.

You're assuming they held CO2...
I'm assuming he knew what they held as it was his description. Did you follow the embedded link?

After seeing this picture on the AK site, I tracked down Fleawatt's web site and looked at all his other creations. Some beautiful work. I couldn't find the steam punk one though. Does anyone have more pictures of this from other angles?
The word "whimsical" in my post and quoted in post #126 is an embedded link. Click it!

Do you know if those are the power transformers on the top (left and right)? And the circuit board is the actual amp? I would love to see this up close! It's definitely a work of art.
Steve describes those as speaker inductors. You see nothing of the actual amp which lies hidden inside the box. Here's what a TPA3110 looks like:
Along with a power supply and connectors.

Put an active buffer stage between the two. (high z in low z out). Problem solved and you can keep them both.

I can't speak for home audio, but when I built up my recent car audio system, I bought a 4x50w (RMS) Kenwood Class D amp, and it is tiny!! I used to have 4x60w Sherwoods that were very large, fan cooled, and difficult to mount due to their size. This little amp, I tucked inside the dash, which solved a lot of other problems for me. The crossovers for the front component speakers were actually larger than the amp. How does it sound? It does well enough--I certainly get little fatigue during long listening sessions. (Or to put it another way, I've heard worse amps in the car!) I don't think anything could come close to the Proton amps I used to run, but this little Kenwood certainly provides good, clean power.
Marantz seems to be banking on them

Those use Hypex Ncore modules like many of the top line models from Bel Canto, Merrill Audio, ATI, Mola Mola, etc.
