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’ve tried a couple class D units. They were good but not great to me. I’m game to try some more. 
Anyone try a class G amp?  I had a Creek class G. Very cool topology: first 25 watts was all Class A and the switching side kicked in north of that to output 170 watts into 4 ohms. Sounded lovely with PSB Imagine T2s. But I went horns and tubes.
