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


I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

Fellows, this has been a very interesting thread and I even understand a lot of it, but I am reminded of two things:
1) Two ( or more ) cooks can start out to make the same meal and come up with very different products.  It doesn't mean that their food source was bad, but that they cook differently. Of course, if you start out with bad food, then it is harder to achieve a good meal.  Some cooks can do it, while others can not.
2) As more cooks become aware of a new food source, some one will improve on the way that source is used.  In the electronics word, this improvement can happen rapidly.  I hope no one makes fun of this analogy, as I think it is a good one, but improvement in the new Class D technology seems to be coming  fast.
FYI look at the latest issue of THE ABSOLUTE SOUND's cover story on the new and cheap NAD C328 Hybrid.  I predict that two years from now, most new under $1K amps will be Class D and many under $3K amps, as well.
