Ezmeraldall, thanks for sharing your research. Some people seem to think that some of the newer versions of class "D" aren't so bad. It seems to me that the Spectrons, Bel Cantos and Linn have recieved some decent reviews. I understand that Jeff Rowland, Accuphase and Edge are using some form of digital in thier amps. I really don't know very much about any of these products, though. Who knows where this will lead?
