The classic Class D amp design uses a continuously variable pulse width modulation, but I have seen some newer implementations which use discreet pulse width steps, similar to single bit DAC's, or the DSD stream used in SACD. That would make them Class D -and- digital, just to muddy the waters! As for Pat's desire for a class AD amp, you certainly could build one, but personally I'd just bi-amp! That big power class D for the woofer, and a Class A on the mid/tweeter! Sort of like what I'm running now, 200w of class AB for the Bass, 25w of Class A for the rest!
