Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???


I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

I have zero experience with Class D amps, other than with the new Bash 300s I installed in my sub (and love).  However, just recently I read a few articles about the newest Krell Class D amps (the XD series) and they get glowing, stellar reviews - I was actually impressed by what I read (that, in itself, speaks volumes because I’m an old and hardcore analogue guy) and think you should research these before you make a decision.

Good luck!

I haave owned 6+ class Ds oer the last decade, and owned a Parasound A23. I MHO the Audio Alchemy class D comes closest in warmth but is much more open
ATI makes a very good class D amp. They have a linear power supply, sound great, and don't cost an arm and a leg. 7 year warranty.

What’s the failure rate among various audiophile Class D amps? Is it higher than class A/B? Has it improved over time?
