High end Class D amps?

Just an observation and a question. Are there 'high end' Class D amps out there that are just as good as Class A, A/B amps? I realize that's a sensitive question to some and I mean no disrespect---but whenever I see others' hifi systems on social media, all of the amps are A or A/B. There's always Pass, McIntosh, Moon, Luxman, Accuphase, etc. Where are the Class Ds? For folks out there that want more power for less efficient speakers and can't afford the uber expensive Class As, A/Bs, what is there to choose from that's close to those brands? Thanks

Finally I own a pair of Nuprime Ref.20 Class D with some modifications (silver wiring, Duelund Bybass caps, WBT Silver binding posts...) They are amazing. I feel no need to go back to Class A - but to be honest before I met them by chance never thought about class D. I shared the same prejudice about Class D. Lacking Detail, thin shrill Highs... The Nuprimes Evos are even better. Hopefully I get the chance to grab a pair in the near future. The only non Class D Amps that would be on my wish list are Boulders. But - to be honest are financially out of range and wouldn't work with my Plixir power conditioner. 
I own a full MSB Signature V frontend (CD and Dac), modified Pioneer/TAD S1 Speakers, cabling is Neotech 1001.
Sorry if my english isn't perfect - I live in Germany
