So its pretty much on par with everything else audio these days. Some like it and some not so much.Mapman - I would say Class D is similar to tubes as far as opinion goes. People either like the sound or they don't. I am not saying that tubes sound like Class D (far from it), just that they are both controversial. Very rarely will you hear someone say something bad about Class A solid state relating to sound quality/accuracy.
its nice to have choices.
The difference is Class D will only continue to get even better.
Someday soon everyone may agree.
Class D Technology
So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of distortion that needs to be cleaned up with an output filter.
So my question is, if it weren't for efficiency & power, would there be any reason to own a Class D amp? Do they beat Class A in any other categories that count for sound quality?
