Class D is the future. Boomers stop bashing it, its a maturing product now. PS Stellar 1200 is sweet, Red Cherry, Merrill at a lot more money would give any amp made today regardless of cost a run. Now a pure tube system and I mean pure tube, with tube rectifiers will have its own unique sound, and many enjoy that. But solid state vs. Class D well it’s a toss up when you here a well made class D. As I age class D will be for me, no more trying to lift 100 lb. plus amps, in fact if buying today I look more at class D amps then the big solid state Amps or tube amps in the 30-60 lb. range tops.
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
