Class D is just Dandy!

I'm using Devialet (Class A/D Hybrid) after many years of Krell, Pass Labs, BAT, Mark Levinson and McIntosh ownership, and I have no plans to go back to using legacy (Class A/B) amplifiers. The size, weight, efficiency, aesthetics and sound of the new technology is awesome.

Yes I’ve been using the 4ohm tap and it sounds glorious.

" This is all great discussion but doesn’t it come down to your ears, budget  and preference for the love of music."

     Yes, bluesy41, it does all come down to what equipment enables one to most enjoy reproduced music in their rooms based on their ears and budget. 
     I think it's generally known and accepted that great sounding systems can be assembled using tube, class A and the best class AB amps.  But these amps are not only very expensive they are also very large, heavy, electrically inefficient and emit a lot of wasted energy in the form of heat.  However, nobody can accurately claim that they don't sound very good.
     An underlying theme of this thread has been the revolutionary and egalitarian nature of good class D amps.  More Individuals are now able to attain 'hi-end' sound quality at an affordable price.  The fact that these amps are relatively small, lightweight, electrically very efficient and emit little heat are all just additional benefits to the very good sound quality
    In the not very distant past when good class D amps didn't yet exist, those not able to afford the steep price of the best amps were limited to finding an affordable class AB amp they liked.   It still comes down to your ears and budget, class D has just expanded everyone's options.

I’d take good class D over most class a/b amps in a heartbeat. Class. d uses modern switching technology to compete effectively with good class A but can deliver more sound per $$$ when needed due to its efficiencies and is more practical for most especially when lots of power and current are called for as is often the case with modern smaller less efficient speakers with greater bass extension.. Its that good now and still getting even better as the technology continues to improve.

Class a/b is old compromise technology. Class D may put it to rest totally someday. I had a class G amp once. Yuck. Class D stomps that. Class A is a different story as are tube amps which still provide a truly different way to deliver distinctive results.

I'll second tsugury's recommendation of the Rogue Sphinx.  I've had one in my system for a couple of years now and continue to be impressed with its performance, especially considering its very modest cost.  I hesitated considering this amp, as I've previously found Class D amps to be somewhat sterile sounding and fatiguing over time.  Not Rogue amps.  I believe that this can be attributed somewhat to modern Class D modules, but also to Rogue's tube preamp section and their use of a beefy linear power supply.  Quite musical and dynamic!
