Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???

I’m thinking of the PS Audio m700s or s300 before they go direct sales ( eliminating dealer discounts)

As stayed earlier, Paul already said MSRP is the price. When I was shopping for M700s earlier this year, the $2200 you mentioned is about $400 higher than the quotes I was getting. The BHK series was heavily discounted ( around 36-40%). I can see how PSA wants to keep prices high.

The BHK250 was on my radar, however, if I were to spend $7500 there are a lot of other optionsthat hold value better ( I’ll never bet that I am buying a final- lifetime piece of equipment ). $4500 - $5500 will be my limited if all goes as planned. Lots of options there as well. 

The M700 are something I would keep even after I upgraded since I have various uses ( ceiling speakers, deck, landscape, etc).

In a way, since PS Audio’s trade in program takes worthless junk as trades, the trade in program seems like the publishers clearing house entry letters. To enter, you need to put this stamp here, find this sticker and place it here, plus check this box , etc..... worthless effort.

You have a worthless piece of gear, we cannot sell it ourselves or the people that get our trade in can’t sell it. However, to unlock a discount , you must send your piece of junk to us. In a way it’s kind of insulting. Just stop giving discounts and be done. Let your product speak for itself. It’s like General Motors cars. The value does not hold because every day there are huge rebates, financing etc

One issue with class D that is not from a major brand would be resale value. I’ll never be the one to say I have purchased my final amp. 

Tweak, 

what was the main influence for choosing this particular amp? Did you have prior experience with their gear?

I did hear a Yamaha Pro (MX series?) amp in a home theatre system a few years back and it sounded fine.
