Looking at the Audio Research DS450 - once again

.....I am once again at a position to seriously think about this amp. I have no access to litening to it ....and based on dealers, and reviews...it seems like an all around winner. Yet as much as they work around it,...it is a class D amp. Maybe ARC has developed one that does actually sound good. I would like to hear from members who have listened to it, bought it....or said no to it. Please, if you haven't done any any of these no need to respond

It's a delightful amp with the right speaker, and agree with one of the aboves, extremely nice with the LS-27....I do disagree with the above poster, the TNT and wonderful Acoustat 3's were made together, hence their synergy. The speakers wouldn't have existed without those amps. I have heard them many times together, and nothing else I heard matched as well. So no wonder he doesn't find the DS-450 as agreeable to his ears....mine either. And I love the DS-450.
OP, I don't see the speakers you want to use with them....that will make all the difference...
Good luck!
