Looking at the class d site and all associated links it appears class d deals in a lot of equipment that is not class d branded - citronic, cmark, qsc, eminence, fane, celestion, kam, behringer, proel, stageline etc.

It also looks like class d is much more into the electronics and components side of things that speaker manufacture, the links on his links page seem to suggest that.

Google maps shows a good overhead detail of quite a large manufacturing unit, and looking up the class d phone number in google brings up a huge number of websites detailing the company.

Excellent PR and advertising if nothing else.

Does anyone here have any actual evidence that class d has done any deceptive trading or provides poor service?

We've had one guy who got ripped off by someone masquerading as class d and who classd now refuses to supply.

We've had Tony ASS trying to turn class d's decision to stop commenting into an admission of guilt of something.

And we've got other commentors sucking their teeth and going on about how knowledgable everyone in this group is and (presumably) therefore it's OK for us to be dicks to someone who sells cheap kit to those who would like to buy cheap kit. Get over it. This group, like speakerplans.com, is not a pro group.

csg: a pro buyer would not have been conned the way you were.

And Tony, what class d does is not so different from what you do/did.

Get over yourselves people.

can i correct you jsg - i never purcased anything from this geoff character, or class d myself. not wishing to blow my own trumpet, but owning 30kw of nexo powered by lab gruppen, it is hardly the end of the market im involved in.


as i stated clearly i was trying to help out a friend who had purchased a system after having got back into dj'ing after a 10 year break.

Maybe you should read the small printin the Lab gruppen specs very carefully you may find your 30kw is not exactly what you think

well, lets look at this then.

the labs provide me with faultless service.
they are completely reliable, happy with very low impedence and reactive loads.
they are happy onproblematic power supplies, whether voltage or frequency instable
they are consistent, available for long periods of time without major design change from a reputable manufacturer with proven customer service.
they sound good on all frequency bands and applications
they are easlily cross hired by me from local suppliers who base their whole inventories on the same units
they are a recognised brand which is rider friendly and attractive to clients and customers
they hold their value well compaired with budget or unrecognised brands
they are made by hand with care and attention
they are light in weight

but lets forget all that - my rig is capable of comfortably entertaining 5000 people consistantly and reliably. it makes me money. its busy.

and it wouldent be busy if it said class d on the front. it would be sitting in my lockup, gathering dust.

thats all there is to it.

JSG, what is it that I did or do. I'm interested in the comparison.

Peace and goodwill to all speaker builders

I,ve got a funny feeling that your the hire company that claimed in a well known magazine that your rig was so efficient that you ran a rack of Lab gruppen amps 6 if not 8of them at 30kw from a 13amp extension lead


Again have a good look at the small print before you start sl*gging people of.

Left us all laughing

You sell people what they want to buy. It's called business.

thats perfectly feasable actually, if the duty cycle of the music is low (ie: most live music), then i can see how that would work. you may stick in a 30kw rms rig, but program wise, the thump of the kick drum is mainly drawn from the amplifiers capacitor bank and the top end doesnt really eat that much power if you have the rig setup correctly.

after all this banter, i hope to god your new product rangesare at least on a par with the top end kit such as this mans, or i fear you will be the one making us all laugh
