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?

When Class D takes over, the earth will stop rotating and those magnetized by covid vaccines will be demagnetized.

The more time i spend here the more it feels like a bunch of geezers trying to hang onto the old tech and talk about how $5k cables augment sound.

This might be the wrong place for me.

For a friendly forum less obsessed by expensive gear, but rather heavy on vinyl, try the Steve Hoffman Forums. For a friendly one with a more costly slant, try Audio Aficionado.
