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?

I've heard Atmasphere and AGD and own the latest Class D Audio Gan model.

They are all very good at very different price points.  

The Class D audio is the least expensive by far.  Frankly I don't know what more one could ask for in an amp.  More bling perhaps?   It excels in every way sound-wise, is most compact, and very nice looking in its own unique pseudo-industrial way.   Very good build quality and made in the USA as well.  Direct sale with no dealers involved helps keep the cost down.   Highly recommended!

@mapman mine is also the latest generation. 
@lak live in Indiana? And have a proclivity for fast motorcycles? 

Argent Pur have entered the market using an Orchard board but everything else supplied or modified by them, using, naturally, a lot of silver.  Initial reports are promising.

@lak my house to Bass Pro is 2 hrs 15 minutes.

I will be gone the end of the month and most Saturday’s are taken up until the leaves fall.
