A new Danish audio company, founded by Bruno Putzeys, Lars Risbo, and Peter Lyngdorf was recently announced. The name is Purifi Audio, and as you can guess from the founders involved, the venture promises Class D amplifiers with record-breaking performance "unmatched by amplifiers of any operating class." But the new company will be doing more than amplifiers, since it also revealed a new 6.5" woofer with "magnitudes lower intermodulation distortion across frequency and SPL."

NAD Electronics, the acclaimed high fidelity audio brand, particularly recognized for its innovations in amplifiers, announced that it will be the first international brand to incorporate and launch Purifi’s new patent-pending class-D technology into its product family. The announcement was made at the opening of another edition of the High End 2019 show, in Munich, Germany. NAD will license Purifi’s patent-pending amplification technology to create its next-generation amplifier platform.
