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

Getting hung up on theoretical problems (all designs have them) without regard to the audibility of said problems is a waste of time.  Am another new convert to pro audio amps.  I have been listening to a Crown XLS1502 for the last three weeks driving my PSB T2's.   It sounds as good as anything else I've heard.  That said, I am not a megabuck audio consumer.  The amp I just sold was an NAD C275BEE.   Audiophiles don't take pro amps seriously because they're not expensive enough.  Too bad.   I  am getting great sound from a 300wpc/8ohms amp that can deliver over 1000 bridge for mono and lists for just a bit over $400.  I paid just under $300 for mine when I lucked into a deal.   Buy a used one.  Clear the audiophile propaganda about pro equipment out of your mind and listen for a few weeks.  If you don't like it, sell it on.
