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


I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

what does it say about an amp that needs-
*tube front end
*justification with specs
*a front end " class A analog cell " 
?  

@earlflynn, are you under the mistaken belief that I and others just hang out on this forum with nothing better to do? None of this happens in "real" time. 

Sorry to hear about your son but you're sadly mistaken in thinking I hate cops. I have one uncle who was a captain and ran 44th St, Shootin' Newton, Rampart and other divisions. He was also in IA and sorted out the bad cops. He was also one of the lead investigators in the Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan cases. 

The other was an Asst. DA for over 30 years with a 98% conviction record, and while we're at it, another was a fire battalion chief. You know where you can stick it. Besides, it's not the side I support that stormed the capitol and beat and killed police. Were they people you supported?

Next, where did you get the idea that I'm a strong supporter of Class D? I'm just asking questions that you need not butt in on since you're all into tubes with your Hungarian Ghoulash amp, so remember, don't drink and fly when getting those tubes. We'd hate to lose you as you're such a distraction.

It seems comprehension is not your forte. Why would I ask about the Technics if I've already tried it in my system? Not ranting. Not raving. Just asking. There's no magic in words so saying something stupid doesn't make it so, no matter how many times you say something stupid. Capisce? . 

All the best,
Nonoise
I switched to Class D 13 years ago, had all sorts of amps and even had a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 SE, that was a amazing beautiful sounding beast, 125 lbs, 8 KT88's, and the size of a coffin and could heat a mid sized home.... Switched to Channel Islands Audio class D amps and never looked back, better tighter bass, all the air, weighs not much and barely runs warm... CI Audio is one of the best out there in the class D realm IMO
@nonoise I am back and only a fool drinks and fly’s.
Multi Engine Commercial and it is only a hobby.

So Capisce you are a small fish in this pond son.

I am not being stupid unless you feel asking a question is stupid and yet you still have not answered it.
Please do not call me stupid a BSME and a MSCHEME and an MBA say otherwise.
Like I said big fish in a small pond and that this forum is your pond.
Thank you for being respectful of our son.
Lets end this. I do not like you would rather play with rattle snakes than listen to you.


Just as the OP i have the AGD Audion's and i find them to be fantastic one of the best amps i have heard regardless of class. Are they the best i have ever heard NO but i would have to spend 7-10 times their cost to better them. The best amps i have heard were also Class A so i would think it a shame to have these amps fade away. If i could justify the cost yes i would own one of the mega buck Class A amps but i can not so i own the next best thing the AGD amps.
