What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?

There have been a number of threads discussing the wonder of GaN and some of the individual amplifiers that have caught peoples attention, including those from AGD, Atma-Sphere, Peachtree, LSA, etc. Has anyone done a shootout against two or more GaN amps? If so, which did you prefer, and why? And on what speakers?

Also, of the one you preferred, do you prefer it over every other amplifier you’ve ever heard? If not, what non-GaN amp do you enjoy more?

Anyone have experience with the latest ClassD Audio GaN 6. It may be below everyone’s pay grade.

Not ClassD bust I do have GaN amplifiers from AGD and Gold Note. Have also had the pleasure of listening to the GaN amps built by Ralph at Atma-Sphere.

So far I am satisfied with Class D Audio’s mono blocks. Gonna say it takes around fifty hours for them to start settling in. That is all the older they are.

@f1a I own the LAIV Harmony GaNM monoblocks. They sound very good. I suggest you watch the Youtube video that Steve Huff did regarding the monoblocks, I agree with his review. Other reviewers also have reviews out on Youtube, so far all is very good.
