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?

I have had some good class D ,I still feel a very good class A, AB 
sounds more fluid .I hav3 a Coda CSIB integrated  and it has much more. Control ,and depth of performance IMO. Spotted 3,000kva transformer ,and over 80k uf in capacitance  runs in pure class A for almost 20 - 1st watts and pure class A preamp ,even my dac runs in pure class A on the analog outputs  I am good with my Amplification I think it just has more depth, some class D like Merrill sound very good but Waay over priced ?
