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

My first Class D amp is a Bel Canto REF500S----my preamp is a Modwright and they have a great synergistic sound. Definitely check out Bel Canto. Good luck!

The only class D amp that I've ever heard is the NAD M22 v2.  I've paired it with a Herron VTSP-3A (r02) tube preamp.  Being able to adjust the gain on both (VTSP set to low; M22 set to mid), with the Herron's 100 step volume control has allowed me to make my Tannoy DC8Ti speakers "sing" with no listening fatigue or glare.  I'm quite happy with the M22.

select,

I get what you mean, as I too am over-the-moon with the EVS 1200, and it has less than 50 hours playing time, but have you heard a GaN amp? I am scheduled to get a prototype soon. Could they possibly be "THAT' much better? .
