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 also have heard Merrill Audio Veritas amps and had dinner with Merrill a few years back.  Nice guy and good amps also. Check out Arion Audio, I think these are extremely good.  
I’ve heard a few Class D amps.  I still prefer the sound of a good tube amp or a pure Class A SS. But the inexpensive Crown XLS1502 class D amp sounded excellent in a friends system on his Martin Logan Monolith speakers.   So the cheap inexpensive Crown amp worked well in a very expensive system. I tried the D-Sonic 800 watt amp and thought it was a product I can easily recommend. But it did not sound better in my system than my pure Class A 200 watt Threshold mono blocks.
