iAbit iDome D500 Pure Digital 2.1 Speaker System (SP-000-AB)

These claim to be truely digital.
Now from my experience with digital Class D amps (TacT Millenium if anyone remembers the first digital amp - beating abit's claim by many years!), if these really have a Class D amp in them I'll be very interested in replacing my rather carpy sounding JBL Creature IIs..
Looking at the specs - they claim class D
Basically class D means you connect the main power supply to your speakers and use a very rapid switching (GHz speed) to step the speaker using the signal - causing amplification.

Thought about buying one of these in my earlier days.. only 5K at time
Have a look at this...

Note the size of the power supplies on the left and right. The whole amplification is done by the switching silicon under the big "TacT" shielding - the switches need shielding as they operate so fast they're almost emitting microwaves!
Gibbo - when are these landing?
My mx700 has decided to go nuts (not batteries etc) so that needs replacing too...
