Class D Technology


So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of distortion that needs to be cleaned up with an output filter. 
So my question is, if it weren't for efficiency & power, would there be any reason to own a Class D amp? Do they beat Class A in any other categories that count for sound quality?

"Maybe it's some that are so pro Class-D as it stands, and can't/refuse to see that it's maybe it's not become of age yet.
If they can concede that Technics with their SE-R1 are showing the way in the area of switching noise frequency development, maybe then there'll be an even faster development in that area by other class-d manufacturers demanding to have those components to make it happen. "

Is this Technics you keep referring to class D ? Or is it a digital amp ? Totally different technologies ?
