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

And there it is, Ralph's new Class-D release must be soon as he's gone into full product protection mode.
 
How can anyone believe that "any" Class-D driving a pair of Wilson Alexia etc etc could possibly do anywhere near the sonic job that an amp like Gryphon Antllion or similar could do.
Especially in the lower bass where the Alexia's are 0.9ohm loading presented to the amp.

Hello georgehifi,

     Hey, maybe douglas_schroeder has found your first class D amp?
     If so, welcome to the club!  But I think we're gonna need a bigger bandwagon.

georgehifi,
There’s no way to know how Ralph’s new class D amp will sound, or how it might compare to a Gryphon, or similar amp; but we do know that he has a pretty stellar reputation for the OTL amplifiers that he has produced to date, so I am going to bet that his class D amps will be something special. Customers will decide if that’s the case.

The answer is simple: Gain knowledge instead of made up stories.
