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

@mike_in_nc,Apollon seems to be a great choice for PuriFi based amps. What was the amp it replaced? Any comparison that you can share?
@mike_in_nc ,Thank You for the prompt response. Based on what you mentioned, I think you are listening "louder" to the Apollons, (maybe) because they are so clean?! I think that is indeed good.Are the Apollons warm/cool compared to the Bryston?
One point I read with great interest was the "electrostatic main speakers". What speakers are those? Class D in general are accused of not being able to handle 2 ohm loads. Does your speaker dip to that level? If it was me, I do not care for numbers. If the amp is able to drive the speakers my speakers to level I like, I am happy.BTW your feedback is VERY helpful.
If you think of the number of people on the planet, who are audiophiles or enthusiasts, and among those who own speakers whose impedance dip to less than 2 ohms - that must be 0.01%? Don't know. But for the rest of us folks the Purifi would be more than sufficient.
+1 @twoleftears 
Would love to hear from other Purifi owners experience who own Nord or March.
@tvad ,
I am surprised that the AGD did not replace your existing amps. They had replaced a reviewer's SET amps in his system. So I was thinking very highly of the AGDs. Would love to hear from you about the differences between the AGDs and the Audio Notes. What was it that you did not like?
It’s true... you can’t teach an old @dutchydog new tricks.
That was funny!
