Competitive class D amp suggestions


I have been Class D fun since a few years ago when i bought my first class D amp. I like the concept, in general, and all the attractive features of this class of amplifiers. I tried 4 different ones, currently i  stayed with one of them that i consider to be the best among all four amps. I do enjoy and like it. At the same time,  my 5 watts SET amplifier (with more than 100 times higher distortion according to the specs) gives more natural and (surprisingly) notably cleaner sound (THD of the class D amp is 0.001). The soundstage  of the class D amp is not so bad but that of the tube one is still better.   

I remain attracted by class D amps though. 

Any fresh suggestions on reasonably priced class D amps (i mean excluding  non-reasonably priced class D amps, e.g., Merrill amplifiers)?

Any comments on non-reasonably priced class D amps are also welcome (so far i was not able to audition many class D amps and am curious if there are some which could really compete with Class A).

Then it seems that i have no clear idea on what the "hybrid" actually means and how it is implemented. How GaN output is "packed with tubes", just for an additional flavor or for an additional power? Which architecture is "preferable", hybrid or this one? I have no idea how AGD amplifiers sound, but in general i prefer as less flavor as possible. 

Atmasphere class d amps can also be interesting. I did not find them on the site and have no idea on preferences made in their design. Neither i know if there are already completed models. Can Ralph provide  more detail? 

@niodari the Atmasphere amps are listed on their website here http://www.atma-sphere.com/en/classD.html

They are completed and from what my dealer has said there are already 2 runs that have been shipped. Although there are very few who have talked about their experience with them. Maybe they are to busy listening 🎶

For high efficient speakers the Mono blocks and for medium to lower efficient speakers , get the Ultra Starkrimson ...according to Leo at Orchard Audio.... And he always answers the phone....

That is the general recommendation, but if you really want to figure it out properly then please see my blog post here:

@rsf507 thanks for the link. I have a bit better idea about Atmasphere amps than before. I may also ask by email. As to the distortion, I don't know what THD really means. As noted in this thread, my class A tube SET amp with THD 0.5 gives notably cleaner sound reproduction than my class D amp with THD of 0.001.
