Class D for a Tube Lover


First, I'm sure this has been asked many times but searching the subject wasn't too helpful to me.

So apologies in advance.

I enjoy tubed electronics and class A amps, which tend to be a bit warm.  My current Cary 805s warm my small (12x16) music room even in the cool/cold of winter.  I've got other amps that don't produce much heat, but am looking for something that produces no heat.  Living in a home with no central AC the room gets uncomfortably hot during the summer months.

So...I'd like to try some Class D amps.  Stereo or mono is just fine.  And my speakers aren't difficult to drive so I don't need a thousand watts.  But if that thousand watt amp sounds great, I'm not adverse to that, either.

I'd like to keep the price under 2k used.  

Please help.

Thanks.

Here's a review link to the AGD Audion top amp and pre-amp.  https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/agd-productions-gran-vivace-andante/
I'd like to hear them.   My best friend uses a Channel Islands Class D amp (what he could afford) mated to an EAR 324 tube pre-amp.   He is also a part time remastering engineer (worked with Kevin Gray for years) and finds the amp to be quite satisfying.
