Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???


I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

I haave owned 6+ class Ds oer the last decade, and owned a Parasound A23. I MHO the Audio Alchemy class D comes closest in warmth but is much more open
ATI makes a very good class D amp. They have a linear power supply, sound great, and don't cost an arm and a leg. 7 year warranty.

What’s the failure rate among various audiophile Class D amps? Is it higher than class A/B? Has it improved over time? 

Bel Canto REF600M monoblocks. I never heard a class D amp I liked until I heard these and they are superior to just about everything on the market, and an absolute bargain at less than $5K. No harshness, no digital edge, no noise, no whitish coloration, no tubey softness..... just right. Exceptional dynamics, resolution, damping. And they can drive any speakers with ease. Plus they’re energy efficient.

Hello artargyle, worth mentioning that your Rowland M625 S2 amps run in class A/B.
