Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends"

Hey folks, I was really enjoying the thread explaining class A amps to class B and AB, wheni was wondering where Class D comes in. I would love to be a snob and say its for my friends, but I have to admit I am doing the learning here! (I am not implying that the other guy who posted was asking the question for his benefit)

Thanks for your help!

In general efficiency is inversly related to sound quality. Class D gives you a lot of power in a lighter, cheaper, more efficient package. Good for sub use. High quality Class D amps are not cheap so there is no free lunch.

Ignore the inexperienced post(er). True; pay no attention to Audiopile who has had far less experience in audio than I have. His knowledge is inversely proportional to his ego.
