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

Mola Mola and Merrill are well reviewed, but they are different of course from A and A/B. It's not a question of "just as good."
georgehifi,
There’s no way to know how Ralph’s new class D amp will sound, or how it might compare to a Gryphon, or similar amp; but we do know that he has a pretty stellar reputation for the OTL amplifiers that he has produced to date, so I am going to bet that his class D amps will be something special. Customers will decide if that’s the case.
robertjerman,
I hope that you were kidding about the Crown 1502. I owned it and it was the worst amp I have ever used. There are good ones, and Jeff Rowland is among them. 
"True, I can take that one both ways.
He does trash his reputation when he’s product protection mode, as there's not much new tube amp sales going on anymore."

I was actually speaking about you George. I think that you were being unreasonable, and in this case, made yourself look bad.
