Class D Amplification Announcement

After 60 some odd years of disappointment, Class D has finally arrived. As per The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin, the Borrenson-designed Aavik P-580 amp “is the first Class D amplifier I can recommend without the usual reservations. …the P-580 does not have the usual digital-like upper-mid/lower-treble glare or brick wall-like top-octave cut-off that Class D amps of the past have evinced.”

Past designers of Class D and audiophiles, rejoice; Michael Borrenson has finally realized the potential of Class D.

Did it mention which class D amps JV had in house for extended listening? I seriously doubt it

Several years ago I bought a EVS 1200 that Ric Schultz designed around the identical IcePower modules PS Audio uses in their 3xs as expensive M1200s, that Michael Fremer bought. About a year later, after numerous testing delays, LSA introduced the Voyager 350 GaN amp @ $3000 but routinely discounted to $2399.

Is the Audion, or Atmosphere 2+Xs better? I'm sure they are both excellent, BUT, I seriously doubt it
