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

I'm liking my Bel Canto monoblocks. They have all the power and all the detail and none of the coloration and distortion. Works for me.

I have used them now with two different tube (valve) preamps. I've used them with my Acoustat speakers and it really brought them to life. I use them now with Goldenear Triton Ones, which can handle but do not need that much power (partly because they have class D amps built in for the low end) and that sounds great, too. Keep in mind that I upgraded from Adcom, if that helps.
