Anyone heard anything about Diamond having a new line of entry level amps? My dealer said there were much like the current D5 line, without the fancy heat sink. He said they should be arriving in early April.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any specs or prices? Any insiders?

Thanks

Yea I heard they coming out with a D-3 series...bottom of the line..haven't heard anything else.

I'd rather have the D7 if I was gonna buy Diamond Audio amps

I phoned Diamond in Arizona, they have 3 new models in the D3 line. Id rather stick with the D5's....or perhaps some Macroms...

I like the macroms....but they dont'have a class d amp that suits my needs Its hard to pass up, especially with the discount.

I did not know that...I was thinking Alberta for some reason.
The m1a.1000d, says it does 1000w at 14v, you've said they are a little under rated, do you think its more like 1000w at 12volt? I can only handle about 800w rms at 2ohm.
