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

Just for the benefit of those who are not familiar with PS Audio’s business model:  They have a trade-in program where they discount the product you are buying by the original MSRP of the product you are trading in, up to a limit which is about 30% of the list priceof the piece you are buying.  I’ve used this offer twice, once for a pair of M700’s and once for an S300. In both cases I was able to get the maximum discount in return for an old and obsolete piece of equipment that I was no longer using and that could have been sold in the used market for no more than a couple of hundred dollars.  This is not as good as just getting 30 or 40 or 50% off from a dealer, but it is certainly better than paying list price.

And, yes, I think the PS Audio class D amps sound very good.  I am using the M700’s in my main system with a BHK preamp and Directstream DAC (also from PS Audio) and am very happy with the results.
