Nuforce STA200

I am curious about the Nuforce STA200 amplifier  If anyone has experience with the amp it would be appreciated if you would share your listening impressions, both good and bad.  Some of the descriptions I have read classify it as a class AB amp and others a class D amp.  I am not technical savvy about these things, can a single amplifier be both? 
Thanks
George

Thanks in advance for any input.

You should be able to find a used A21 and if you don’t like it lose very little on resale. But at that price there are the Odyssey amps and the...
