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?

I've read nothing but good things about the Rogue Audio Pharaoh.
I wonder if some of the complaints about the shortcomings off Class D are offset by the utilization of tubes...

Apologies to mglik,
but Earl, if you are going to continually use the word ’pious’, for Gods sake start spellIng it correctly!!!
I also find it odd that you continually say you are through, yet you keep coming back for more. It’s simple. See all those keys in front of you with letters on them? Stop pressing them.

Is that you, skypunk, or is it earlflynn? Easy to get those two mixed up.
Good to see you dropped your selfie and have that aeroplane as your new avatar. Nothing like reinventing yourself, I’m told, but I’ve never had to do it.

As for my psyche, it’s never been better.
Your concern is so touching.
Are the meds working now?  😄

All the best,
Nonoise
