I have the 800 watt version.No worries, I’ll oblige…
Don’t buy it. Buy this instead and it truly will be the last amp you’ll buy.

Nope all cash. Got an upgrade in the day job recently, finally cashed in after years of being a below-market-rate state employee. Moved over to healthcare, got a raise and a sweet sign on bonus.No worries, I’ll oblige…

I see. I'm guessing there are not suitable close-equivelents?It's a market trend. Basically FETs are old technology. The vast majority of current bass amps are Class D.
I found a thread that indicates the outputs in the DB751 are Exicon ECF20N20 & EDF20P20 lateral mosfets.
Per this article I Exicon has stopped making this class of device: It’s the end of the production line for the lateral MOSFET - Electronics World.
Could Aguilar not issue a new DB amp with a different FET output section, or another type of non class d?
I know I'm in the wrong place....but I'm contemplating buying a DB 751. I know its overkill for any gig I play, but dammit I want it. I'd probably be better off with the TH 700, I had one in the past, and loved it, but sold it. My thinking is that if I like that sound It'd be the last amp I'd ever buy.
I don't think it can be done, or somebody would have done it by now.Some believe it's not possible to design class D with the sound and feel of the big Aguilars. Recent threads suggest none of the current crop of class Ds get close. I don't have any current Class D amps in my collection, so I can't really offer any recommendations. I do own some older class D amps: Ampeg SVT 8-Pro, Epifani UL902, Gen Benz ShuttleMax 12.2. IMHO these are all incredible amps, but they have different tone goals than the DB751.
The closest amps in my collection are other big led sleds or all-tube monsters. I believe my Marshall VBA 400 is the closest overall.
