Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?

Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
@johnkent3  Lol. It certainly seems that way anymore.I don't understand all the hatred for class D. I've had a number over the years and all were outstanding in some ways and needed improvement in others, just like any other amp. The same can be s...

What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
Plus, I believe that whatever money one has spent on renting equipment from Cable Company, that money gets put in a "pot". If you decide to purchase something now or down the road, that pot money gets deducted from your purchase price.

Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable
@charles1dad  Thanks you. That very question has been festering in my head since I acquired them. Previous pair of Rethm Trishna were driven by an Almarro A3188B. It produced 18 watts of single ended triode heaven and that combination was the best...
