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

After much research,  I will be placing an order with apollon in 3 weeks.  My decision was left between apollon and nord, for various reasons I chose apollon.  I will be ordering the 8 ch 1200as2, believe its as4800 model. It will be awhile,  but I will report back with my findings. Hoping for the best. 
On a slightly different note. I  don't understand why people are not entitled to there opinions.  Get over it, some people just like class d. I've only heard one class d, Gato and although I didn't listen long, for the short time I did, it sound very nice.  If you dont like class d, nothing is obligating you to respond to that thread.  Not everyone can afford 10k or more for amps.
I agree George.  I have a Bat amp that is outstanding.  And a very nice 3ch B&K.  But I still want to try the class d and see what all the hype is about. And I really do hope it doesn't disappoint.  If it turns out to be excellent I will report that,  if it sucks I will also report that and return.  I do believe in the advancements in technology.  So I never dismiss that.

Tweak1,  after endless searching,  I realized that I cant buy in USA $$$$. So I decided on apollon as4800,  8 channel using 1200as2 for $3200.00.  After some serious deep digging apollon is extremely well constructed,  1200as is latest tech, very well laid out. D sonic, ati, cherry, etc.... out of my price range. Need this for surround,  4 atmos and center. I will keep my fronts with the bat. My room does double duty ht and music. After this I am doing room treatment and 2 svs sb3000.  Very excited to see how this as4800 performs.  Hoping for the best. Once broken in, I will try it on the fronts.  Hoping to go all class d.

Thank you Tim.  I pulled the trigger on the Apollon as4800 this weekend.  So now just need to wait.
