In addition to the comment regarding Class D, I decided to try Class D, out of curiosity, more than anything. I know, in this context, what I'm about to say will sound ridiculous, but I bought a Class D Audio kit, and eventually added another amp module, and run the two in bridged mono, for 500 Wpc.
The point being, my Tannoy HPD speakers have never sounded better. Last night, Sara Vaughan and orchestra sounded nearly like they were in the room with me.
The ridiculous part of this is, I've invested a total of $550-$600 in the amp. Now, I'm not suggesting you do what I did, but it's just an example of how good even inexpensive Class D can sound. I've owned many fine amps over the years, and this is the best any system of mine has ever sounded.
Something to think about, and perhaps investigate. Best of luck in your search.
Regards,
Dan
