Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)

bigkidz clearly has not heard SOTA class D and so is unwilling to comment on Mola Mola or Spec.

@spenav - much appreciated on the AGD experience - I will probably try and give the Tempo di Gani a listen

@twoleftears - appreciate the suggestion

Have a great day!

Saying which is better, class A or D is like asking which is better, tubes or solid state. There is no definitive answer. Great and mediocre in all class types. Part personal, part associated equipment, part environment, part 'your' ears also come into play.

@bigkidz 

Thanks for the reply. I have one last question: have any of your creations been reviewed by a third party outsider with no horse in the race, like a magazine?  I am asking this because if you only listen to and compare your amps in your environment and with your specific associated equipment, that gives you a home court advantage. To my mother, I am the most handsome man on earth. While I accept your testimony, I would be interested in knowing what others think.

I have owned quite a few class Ds including; several W4S, PS Audio M 700s, Emerald Physics 100.2 SEs, EVS 1200 (based on dual mono IceEdge AS 1200 modules) plus loads of tweaks. I raved about for over a year, UNTIL, I got a LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp, which was about half the power, but easily twice the authority. It is so night and day from the EVS, that IMO, GaN (at least this one) should not be included in the class D designation
