Class D Technology

In my personal opinion, I think the very best sounding Class D amp out there right now are the Classe Sigma Mono's.  However, I still think a  Class A,  a Class A/AB,  or  a  Class AB amp will still at this point in time beat sound wise any Class D amp, but I'm talking Class A amps of the high end order vs Class D amp also built by a high end manufacturer.  Of course a high end manufacturer's high end Class D amp will beat a mid-Fi companies Class AB amp. I don't think any mid-Fi or low-fi company builds any pure Class A amp's as I'm sure all of us already knows that.

I own NuForce mono block class D amps.  They were cited by Absolute Sound as "amp of the year" several years ago. Combined with a tube preamplifier and old Dalquist DQ 20 speakers, the sound is remarkable.  I listen mostly to Classical music and find the rendering more lifelike than with any other amp I've owned.

Unforced must pump a lot of money into absolutes sound to purchase that moniker.  :)

its a joke my my fellow Americans, as I know if I didn't say so, you would all be butt hurt. :)

i heard some class D monos, they were just ok, nothing special.
tiny lack of upper treble , midrange was ok, bass was good. 

Would BUy if they ever stop making AB amps :)

Interesting discussion.  Can someone suggest a low-cost "bettter" Class D amp for use as a 'mid-fi' system with consumer-grade speakers for elderly parents who like to listen to music, but don't "LISTEN" to music as we do?

Thanks!
