Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?


I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

My class A sugden A21se @ only 30 watts into 8 ohms/ 40 into 4 ohms sounds fantastic to my ears....simply pure, warm, effortless, detailed, full bodied, and natural sound. It has a nice wallop when needed...class D sounds much too dry to my ears...class A has a nice wet sound which I prefer. Sugden solid state class A, still going strong since 1967.
