Class D isn't considered by anybody to be a superior way to amplify sound.
My $1300 switching amplifier mono-block kits mounted on some rock maple easily replaced a few highly regarded linear solid state amplifiers. The last one at almost seven times the price. My studio monitor system is not about listening to music its about hearing what I've recorded.
By comparison the linear amps were slightly colored and would sound congested the more they were pushed despite their higher power ratings. The switchers are plate glass transparent and provide a welcome forward presentation that clearly conveys microphone positioning in the small highly treated studio. Absolutly superior.
Its been well over a decade since a linear amp powered any of my subwoofers. Even my little Acoustic Image Focus 2R Bass amplifier is a three pound switcher that gets my Upshot speaker, amp, and Fiddle out the door hand held in one trip.
Class D is not out to replace anything its about the right tool for the job. A third choice. Jeez.
