It took decades of R&D to figure out.... Cherry Amplifiers are made with a totally proprietary design that does things differently than other Class-D amplifiers. This is why we have been able to achieve that "Cherry Sound" that makes Maraschino and MEGAschino amps "sound like Class-A". The difference is simply more refined sound. Smoother top end and more detail in the midrange. Tight, controlled bass is only the beginning of what can be done with Class-D if done right. We explained this during the brief talks (and Q&A) we held at AXPONA. We start off with an amp that can achieve such bench numbers as 130dB and 0.000x% THD+N, then we tweak the design to get sound quality to much higher levels. The cost is about 10dB SNR, but when you wind up with 120dB, there's no real downside to this process. What you get is an amp that controls the speaker well over the entire range and beyond, without the "etchy" sound that can happen with typical, non-optimal Class-D.
The MEGAschino raised the bar by getting to the next level power-wise, offering up to 1000W into 4 ohms. Talk about headroom! This amp achieves what was thought to be impossible years ago.
