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?

Or it is just validation in your mind.
Not saying that as a disparaging comment I felt the same way with a couple of Class D amps till they showed their true nature.
I decided Class D is great for out on the deck, cheap and do not care if it gets wet.
Like what you like and be satisfied. If you are coming here for validation good luck with that.

"Dead bodies attract dead bodies."
What does that even mean?
Also, it certainly doesn’t seem that anyone is looking for validation.
It appears to simply be a thread asking due to the advancement of the technology and subsequent sound quality, if class d is the wave of the future of amplification.

Not speaking to you.

Does that mean you are addressing another member and not me, so you are denying me an explanation, or do you mean that you will not engage me in conversation at any time?
It is a rather cryptic statement.

@mglik What is your current Class D? Not wanting to sift through this thread. Just curious.
