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

I’m pushing Class-D with this newer technology, because the old technology that’s basically been the same since it started (save for some input detours) is flawed. Reason why all detractors ALWAYS find the mid/highs are not right.

Right, you've called all Class D except for something new and expensive "junkers." Further, you have disparaged everyone who likes Class D as not having good enough hearing, and you told me to leave those who want to enjoy what they like alone. 
Lastly, and most importantly, here like everywhere else, your ears refuse to accept the reality that a lot of modern class D is already excellent.
A real charmer..

I know I am, and believe most class D amp proponents on this thread are, very open minded toward further potential advancements such as the newer GaN FETs, improvements in the filters used to remove the carrier frequency prior to amplification and even the as of yet unproven benefit of MHz-plus signal carrier frequencies.

     With the extremely high quality performance levels of such a large number of class D amps using just currently available technology, significant future improvements in class D amp performance levels is difficult for me to imagine. I honestly cannot identify any aspect of my good quality D-Sonic M3-600-M class D amps’ performance that I would characterize as deficient.

     As an experienced user and proponent of good class D amplification, I have no choice but to consider claims of class D harshness and sonic anomalies in the midrange and treble as illegitimate, view those claiming such with great skepticism and suspect them of having ulterior motives.

     I state this based on my own experiences using multiple class D amps in my system for about 4 yrs, the complete lack of evidence that current signal carrier frequencies in the 400-600 KHz range affect frequencies in the audible range, anecdotal claims of class D upper frequency harshness being based on early class D amps and very rarely on the newer good quality amps and my complete inability to detect any sonic anomalies or upper frequency harshness. If you can’t perceive any sonic issues then you have no sonic issues, right?

     To be fair and empathetic to those who honestly hear sonic anomalies in good quality class D amps that I and many others have never detected, perhaps future research will discover that these anomalies do actually exist but only some individuals are able to detect them.

     If this is the case, that is an affliction that I wouldn’t wish on georgehifi, because listening to music through good class D amps is really quite spectacular when you’re not afflicted with this horrific condition.

     Just really bad dumb luck. I hope the GaN FETs and/or higher switching frequencies will eliminate or at least ease the suffering of all those afflicted with this horrendous and inhumane potential explanatory condition.

Best wishes,
Tim

Exactly. We can debate switching speeds forever, but the fact remains: No one has ever said to me "Geesh, those amps, they're awful, I can hear the switching."

No one has EVER been able to tell whether my amps were linear or Class D unless told they were in advance.

select,

I live in USA and still have come bery close to buying Colins amps, though not able to make up my mind between the N series II or his ice amp, which he only sells as a stereo amp

Doing a ton of research, PS Audios M700s monos (using ice modules) have gotten fantastic reviews. As far as I can tell, unlike Colin’s, they have an input buffer stage, which not only should make them more flexible impedance matches,they are said to improve on the ice sound

Of course that’s speculative unless both are listened to side by side

M700s MSRP is $2995 the pair!
