D-Sonic M3a-600M Mono Amplifier Preview

They are all relatively small, run cool, and produce an amount of power that belies their size. There are no fans, no heat sinks, and not much else to get in the way of the sound.

For example, the D-Sonic M3a-3000S stereo amplifier can produce 2,100 watts into a 4-ohm load. That’s two thousand and one hundred watts. With a THD+N of 0.003%. From a box that weighs only 24 pounds. These are not the dormitory refrigerator-sized amplifiers we’re used to seeing when that much power is needed. What is this magic that Dennis Deacon weaves with his amplifiers?

For this review, I am listening to a pair of his M3a-600M mono amplifiers. Each M3a-600M amplifier sells for $1,075 and weighs only 10 pounds. They can produce up to 800 watts with an 8-ohm load. That is a very tall order for a black box that’s 15 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 4 inches tall.

I will replace some vintage tube and solid-state amplifiers in my system with these D-Sonic amps and see how they compare. I will also see just how well my Spatial M4 Triode Master speakers get along with this new amount of Class D power. Will I get fatigued by the dreaded Digititis Syndrome? Will I run back to the warm, buttery tone of my tubes? Or will I become addicted to having amazing amounts of power available to my speakers?

So many questions for someone accustomed to vintage sound! I’m eager to review these D-Sonic amplifiers, and I hope you’ll tune in for my full review soon.
