I recently auditioned a 100wpc Rotel integrated amp, with a Rotel CD player, with some $10,000 speakers that are a much newer version, but one model down from my own. By its size, the amp must have been a Class D. It also sounded very electronic, very much like my Crown IC 150, as far as I can remember back that far. If this represents Class D sound, I would not be a customer for it. Even the sales person finally admitted that it was not really expected to be used for long term listening. Is Rotel actually Class D now?
