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

 BTW, I will have a 200w GaN prototype soon. Even if it is amazingly better, it will cost significantly more, and out of range of my budget.

Really!! so your the test pilot, looks like the members thoughts were right.

And also wrong again, it’s just a couple of transistors that’s the difference, the GaN output transistors are a little more expensive than the Mosfets in what you have now. The rest of the amps build cost "should" be no different than what you have now, unless the maker want to price gouge.
Hi George, I hope that something comes along that is important enough to you that will help you snap out of your obsession with trashing class D.  Most of us don't care about it one way or the other. You seen to have become caught up in it for some reason.  Let them have their fun big guy.

It will as I’ve said below, and I don’t trash class-D, I give their "Achilles Heels" x 2 problems they have, that GaN will fix if used like Technics with the SE-R1 did. then I will get one. If you can’t understand that, then that’s your problem.

 (jetter, You lose your audience when whatever you have you oversell.)
This again will make many think, test pilot? 

And shouldn't cost much more as it just the GaN transistors vs Mosfet, that are little more expensive.

important to you to be caught up in it, point of reference, we are not.
Then why even bother commenting at all.

Enjoy your obsession.
You got the last 5 letters right, but you misspelled it, it’s passion, subjectively, objectively and technically.
