To date, I've used 3 different class D amps on my fairly inefficient and older Magnepan 2.7QR speakers (87db @1 watt):
ClassD Audio SDS-CS440 stereo amp. 44O W/CH at 4 ohms.
Emerald Physics EP-100.2SE stereo amp. 150 W/CH at 4 ohms.
D-Sonic M600 M3-600M mono block amps. 1,200 W/CH at 4 ohms.
All drove my speakers well, have a decidedly neutral and accurate sound quality with noticebly better bass response and dynamics than my prior and decent quality class AB amps (McCormack and Aragon).
I'm currently using the D-Sonic on them because they sound the best to me due to the superior 3-D sound staging, life-like dynamic impact, tonal balance and the overall sense that you are at the venue or the musicians are in my room.
D-Sonic has replaced the M3-600M monos with their M3a-600M model which the owner, Dennis Deacon, stated now utilizes newer Pascal class D modules instead of the original's Abletec/Anaview modules for what he described as a subtle improvement.
I've listened to the Bel Canto Design Ref600M amps in a friend's system and they are also very good with an overall sound quality that's very similar to the original D-Sonic.
Please list your system, needs and budget for more specific suggestions.
Thanx,
Tim
