Class D Technology

I usually don't have the time to read these much less chime in on these things but I can't resist here.  Those that say D amps are for Cars and Subs don't know what they're talking about (sorry).  I have been in the hobby for 25 years and been a dealer as well.  I have owned many amps throughout the years and have reached audio nirvana with a Red Dragon pair of M1000 monoblocks and a Prima Luna preamp.    I have two other friends that have been dedicated hobbyists for many many  years (one of which was also a dealer for 15 years) who have become believers too.  One owns the AVM MA3.2's and the other owns H2O monoblocks.  Both pair them with tube preamps.  Two others class D amplifiers that I know are incredibly musical....  the Peachtree Nova 150 and 300.  Another friend of mine owns the 150 and he's never been happier.  I heard the 300 at Axpona last year driving a $20,000 pair of Martin Logans and was creating one of the best sounds at the show.  The other brand is Primare.  Only heard it at a show but again a sound that no one could say wasn't incredibly great musical sound that was hard to pull yourself away from.  Class D was for cars and subs only five or ten years ago but they ARE up to par NOW.  Set up properly they will exceed your wildest audiophile dreams.  At the end of the day there is more than one way to skin a cat my friends.  It's what can make hi-end audio so fun and also very frustrating at times.  Happy Listening!

Why do the people who say they don't like class D mention the class D amps they have heard?  One guy slammed the H2o's that he had obviously never even heard.....how ridiculous is that?!  No not all class D amps are great but there are plenty that are EVERY BIT AS GOOD (and better) than any other design.
