Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?

I don`t agree that "all" class D amps suck, but they are not ideal for all speaker types(no amp is). I do believe that for Zu speakers in general they`re at their best with good quality low-moderate power tube amps(SET,OTL orpush-pull). Also one of the First Watt amps should work well.

Kijanski and Krellman,
Why be so defensive? It`s a free market with many choices of amplifiers to choose among. If you prefer class D amps that`s a personal preference, nothing more or less. Others have tried them and found better sound elsewhere(no crime).

The fact that a particular reviewer likes the Spectron amp, OK, well he likes it. Some reviewers prefer SET,OTL,P-P tube or solid state, that does`nt add or subtract credibility at all. You guys bought what suits your taste, but it is`nt for everyone.

kijanski and Krell man,
I understand your objections more clearly now. High End audio is hopelessly subjective and we all just like what we like. I love SET amps but realize they`re not everyone`s cup of tea.

Jagdynamics,
I don`t sense any hate for classD amps in this thread at all. People have heard or tried some and just prefer something else. If you`ve found an amp you love and it happens to be classD then feel fortunate, we all have different taste and priorities.
Charles,

jplaurel,
Yes, another of many examples that illustrate the mandatory proper matching of amplifier and speaker. A well made SET amp can sound disarmingly natural and "real" sounding with the correct speaker. With an inappropriate speaker these amps will predictably disappoint.
