In the Fractal Audio Blocks Guide, the section on setting the Output Mode to either "FRFR" or "SS Pwr Amp + Cab" has the following note:
NOTE: The SS PA +Cab Mode is NOT intended for use with “current drive” power amps, i.e. tube power amps,
Class-D current feedback amps, etc. This mode CAN be used, however, with FRFR monitors in high volume
applications where the monitor’s speakers are compressing, thereby achieving a more dynamic response.
Why are Class-D amps mentioned here? Are Class-D amps reactive to the load they see in some way? Do they not output a flat signal to all sources like a solid state Class-AB amp does?
