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.

Out of curiosity, and after reading some very favorable reviews, I purchased a NewClear NC1000L.  I was interested in seeing just how Class D sounds.  Bottom line, this is an incredible amplifier,  period.  Beautiful tonality, unbelievable dynamics, and if you’re  a soundstage freak, like me, a huge soundstage.  I’ll let you read the reviews, but IMO, this is a wonderful amplifier that I love, and I’m keeping it!  My highest recommendation!  Definitely check this one out.  Links below.
