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

Tweak1,  after endless searching,  I realized that I cant buy in USA $$$$. So I decided on apollon as4800,  8 channel using 1200as2 for $3200.00.  After some serious deep digging apollon is extremely well constructed,  1200as is latest tech, very well laid out. D sonic, ati, cherry, etc.... out of my price range. Need this for surround,  4 atmos and center. I will keep my fronts with the bat. My room does double duty ht and music. After this I am doing room treatment and 2 svs sb3000.  Very excited to see how this as4800 performs.  Hoping for the best. Once broken in, I will try it on the fronts.  Hoping to go all class d.

excellent. Keep in mimd we're probably discussion minutia, especially when talking multi-channel

My guess is you will be blown away
I bought a ps audio s300 when I had to have my tube Amp serviced... I knew it was going to take a while and was going to be entertaining some out of town visitors. I’m shocked at how good it sounds.

I’d tried class D before and, while initially impressed... Eventually left me cold...Too Sterile and thin sounding to my ears.

Does it sound as good as my Musical Reference RM9 mk2? No...but I really like it and didn’t switch back for quite a while once I got my tube Amp back. I could easily live with it as my main Amp.

It probably helps that I’m feeding it with a great tube linestage.

Incredible value from a superb company.
