Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)

HAving owned MANY class D amps over the years, and especially in the last 4, the LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp is fantastic and a uber bargain MSRP $3000, but often on sale

+1 for the LSA Voyager GaN 350.

It is very chameleon like. Lovely oldies like Ella and Louie, Leonard Cohen sound full bodied rich and in the room. Lessor recordings sound, well, Lessor. Great value MSRP $3000, a veritable bargain compared to many class A or A/B amps whose MSRP are multiples

Sound improved considerably by replacing stock footers with Nobsound springs @ ~ $35/4. Now under all my kit, including speakers

I have owned quite a few class Ds including; several W4S, PS Audio M 700s, Emerald Physics 100.2 SEs, EVS 1200 (based on dual mono IceEdge AS 1200 modules) plus loads of tweaks. I raved about for over a year, UNTIL, I got a LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp, which was about half the power, but easily twice the authority. It is so night and day from the EVS, that IMO, GaN (at least this one) should not be included in the class D designation

Clearly articdeth is out of touch with how good class D has gotten in the last few years. Most recently, GaN tech is about to sweep the floor with any class under 500 watts

In the last 5 years I have owned quite a few class D amps, the EVS 1200 being the best of them, but when I tried the LSA Voyager 350, I was shocked and remain very happy 1.5 years later
