Class D is just Dandy!

I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

At some point I will have to try the 600M’s.
Yes you should, as they to me and others sounded better than the Belcanto Black mono’s and Ref 1000 mono’s, still wouldn’t put them in with linear hi-end territory driving hard loads especially

Yeah, I would have to agree, GeorgeHiFi. The ML speakers you tried the Flying Moles with wouldn't be exactly conducive to a great listening experience. Too bad.
 I was using Mag-Planar that were really fast and efficient. But still eventually went back to the tubes.

I auditioned Flying Mole at RMAF several years ago. To say that they sounded utterly uninspiring to me would be a magnanimous instance of audiophilic kindness.


Thankfully, even back then there already were phenomenal music makers running in class D... One obvious example was the Bel Canto REF1000 Mk2, which I listened with immense pleasure at the rame show.

Suggestions for class D integrated in $2000 range new for near field use easy to drive but they do like power $1500 standmounts. Apologies for syntax.
