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?

I've had class A/B amps from Denon, PS Audio, Vincent, and Krell.

Very happy with my class D PS Audio M1200 monoblocks.

@dman777 I ordered them based on a class A rating in Stereophile and the price for the pair was in my budget. Also, they each have a tube. They are quiet, neutral, dynamic, clear and very accurate. I like how they sound. They run slightly warm.

I'm very happy with them. 

My system is very simple.  My source is a McIntosh CD/SACD player that also has a preamp section. XLR cables to the M1200s then speaker cables to B&W 803 D3, and SE cables to the JLAudio subs. In my treated room, with careful setup, I am very happy with the sound.
