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?

Charles, "We both would surely agree with the mantra of YMMV." Agreed

Mapman "It’s close minded to infer a product or technology is inferior or deficient just because one prefers something else. That’s all." Again, agreed.

In the end, let your ears tell you what YOU like and lead the way. That is ultimately what is most important.

Yes, I've heard Class D a few times. My dream system is Mbl's entry-level system with a Class D integrated, CD/DAC, and speakers. It makes beautiful music and if the $$ weren't a concern, I would have it already. 

Specs and technicalities aside, let your ears lead you to YOUR perfect system. We don't buy our gear to please everyone, just us since we are nearly always the only audience.
