Hi,
numerous reviews state, that 8351A monitors do have Class A/B amps for their tweeter / treble speaker. On the following site it says they are Class D though:

Does someone know what's actually inside?

Hello Jani,
thanks for your quick response.
Sorry for being picky, but the website now says, that bass and midrange amps are class AB as well.
I'm not sure if they aren't class D.
