GaN FET Amps vs. Traditional Class D Amps


I'm trying to get a better understanding of GaN FET amplifier technology. Whenever I see a write up on GaN FET based amplifiers they are always compared against class A or class A/B amps. What I'm more interested in is how they compare to the current generation of 'traditional' class D designed amplifiers, both technically and sonically. Can anyone explain it to me?

 

Thank you.

Need to listen to the Atma-sphere amps. To date, the best I have heard are the false tube type made in Italy. Cant remember the company name. Still not as good as tradition types to my ears. Most class D I have heard sound pretty pedestrian.
