D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?

Owner/Designer Dean Deacon of D-Sonic in Houston in recent months dropped using the B&O ICE amps which he now only uses in the surround channels of his multi-channel home theater amps. He now uses a new Class-D amp in all of his Magnum2 mono and two channel amps which he states is the most technically advanced Class-D amp on the market, called the SOA Class-D core amps. The recent review in 6Moons of his new M2-1500M amp concludes its the closest that Class-D has ever come to tube amps in the upper mid-range and high frequencies.
Anyone bought or heard recently the D-Sonic M2-1500M or the M2-600M? What are your opinions?

"As I recently posted, Patrik Bostrom designed the worlds finest Class D amplifier with Leif Olofsson, the Marten M-Amp in Sweden." (Audiozen)

The "world's finest class d amplifier"?

How can you be that sure if you have not heard them?

(I know, you are not going to answer :-)

Jdec..Erick Lichte with Sterophile listened to the amps in early 2011 and came away immensely impressed describing them as sounding like a very powerful rich tube amplifier with the voicing of a Class A amp. Educate yourself and go on the Marten website and read the PDF brochure on the M-Amp and the advanced design technology by Patrik Bostrom thats applied in the amp.

Patrik Bostrom has filed six patents in the U.S. patent office on his new Class D designs between March 2011 and December 2012.

All, in case anyone were interested, here is the press release announcing Abletec's sale of its audio business to Etal Group. Please note that the url is slightly misleading... The title/H1 of the actual page is:

Abletec - Sale of Abletec Audio Business

http://www.abletec.com/news/abletec-acquires-anaview-ab

BTW Audiozen, when you offer lists of recommended readings, it would be helpful if you included appropriate URLs.
