High end Class D amps?


Just an observation and a question. Are there 'high end' Class D amps out there that are just as good as Class A, A/B amps? I realize that's a sensitive question to some and I mean no disrespect---but whenever I see others' hifi systems on social media, all of the amps are A or A/B. There's always Pass, McIntosh, Moon, Luxman, Accuphase, etc. Where are the Class Ds? For folks out there that want more power for less efficient speakers and can't afford the uber expensive Class As, A/Bs, what is there to choose from that's close to those brands? Thanks

Another vote for Bel Canto.
I'm using the Reference 600 monoblocks as a stopgap to drive my Focal Stella Utopias while i save for Boulder 2160. The fun doesn't stop, i can't believe how well they perform
What an interesting thread. Is anyone using subs that have high impedance inputs, like RELs, with class D amps? Do you notice any difference in the performance of the subs, or an impact on the performance of the full range speakers?
I always thought pure class A amplification was most ideal.  So why manufacture Class D amps?  I think Class D amps push and pull the speakers, not sure.  I like the ARCAM AVR 850 because it produces pure Class A amplification the first 50 amps.  Really sounds great.

The company went under. They sound in some way better than my 50K VAC amp.
Please give them a listen.
