Whose got best class D at this point?


Bel Canto,PS Audio,Redwine what am I missing out there for either hi-effciency speakers like the Redwine Sig 30 (great review in 6moons and sounds like it would be great with Silverlines or my German horn Odeon Tosca's) or for current hungry speakers the PS GCA250 or Bel Canto 300.Think after years of onventional SS and tubes might want to take plunge but want guidepost to best bet for the money.
Thanks

I'd like to comment on class d amps on horns. I'm using a tact Millenium MKIII amp on my Omega DUO's which is highly modded.
The tact is quite different than most other amps mentioned here. It directly convert's pcm tp PWM. It is incredibly quite and even at extreme low volumes doesn't lose resolution which is important when using + 100 db efficient speakers.
Class d amps switching a constant voltage on and off. The tact does the same. it differs because it is adjusting thje volate which is beeing swicthed. Very smart. no volumke control in the signal path?
A friend who has the same modded Millenium compared against the latest Nuforce and said with exception of the bass makes them sound broken in comparison especially in the heights.
Just my 2 cents
