You can certainly have a class D amplifier which is better than many class A ones. Look at this as a gift of technology that gives you almost miracle results in terms of a cost, weight, size and energy consumption.
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
I heard a class D amp the other day (Lyngdorf) and it sounded really good. I liked the minimalism of it also. But, I need to own a amp for a couple of months to really know if I like it or not. I don't like room correction ether, so I just liked the sound without that.
Curious, has anyone ever switched from a class AB or class A amp to a class D amp? If so, did you regret it? Was it a downgrade in sound? Or was it upgrade in sound?

@westcoastaudiophile , in most of the sonic aspects including the power (per dolar of price - although it is well understandable that one cannot compare the real power per-watt, in general, of any SS amp with that of a tube one). The distortion at 1kHts is standardly measured. I am not a technician, but it is well-known that, not always, technical data is linearly reflected in SQ (e.g., take HD of the tube amps).
