"Surely a company like Crown with their engineering team can produce a high-quality class D amp? XLS-1502? I'd like to buy one and try it out!" 

Surely the can't Jason! I bought one out of curiosity and it is really bad. Returned it.
Wrong! I’ve had Sonic Frontiers big boy tube amp with 8 KT88’s , class A/B solid state amps, Japanese SET tube mono blocks...

Currently running Channel Islands Audio class D amps, they are the best I’ve owned and don’t heat up the house or weigh much... I have lots of good cables and tweaks, but it’s super liquid, airy, smooth, and neutral... Amazing tightness and deep bass...

Agree that class D is not dry…. Until you hear class A or tubes. It’s all relative. 
I just wish you guys (doubters) could stop in Ohio and hear my completed Legacy system, complete with their new V-series amps. And yes, their class D’s. I replaced a ATI Signature Series , which was a bad’est boy ATI made, with these new V-2 and V-5 Amps. Stunning, especially at over a 100 db with music. (Video Concerts) . I have invited about 8 couples, and a few friends over for evenings... and every single one has left with their jaw on the ground. Its amazing how people that feel quite confident they know a good sounding system. .... walk away dazed with " I’ve never in my life heard anything like THAT " . Couple of them say they hate me as one told his wife, "Get the hammers out, because when I get home, we might as well beat ours’s with hammers and junk them". Don’t get my statement wrong, My system is a peck of sand in the desert compared to others. But I came from a non class D , and love my new Class D’s. They run really cool, even at sustained volumes. Dead Quiet, something my ATI was not. And dynamically are superior to that monstrous beast that took 2 people to move around ...
