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

I currently don’t make, sell, or market any amplifiers and have no skin in the game either way.


You are delusional, I didn’t say you. Go back and read.

But then you are a 50’s kind of guy and you don’t hear too well anymore

George, as a simple tip: the ability to admit that you were wrong is a strength, not a weakness.
Ralph lay off protecting, you do the same with preamps.

Amazing.
@atmasphere ,
Dunning-Kruger effect seems to sum it up nicely.

You really don't need to trash George. He takes care of that himself.

True, I can take that one both ways.
He does trash his reputation when he’s product protection mode, as there's not much new tube amp sales going on anymore.

@aolmrd1241, This is just speculation, but I looked at Doug's equipment list for a recent review and this was the last piece listed in amps,   Tri-Art Audio Series B 60W Class D with Tube Linear Power Supply,  link;  https://www.triartaudio.com/?page_id=3997      
Single ended Class D, 60WPC, I can't find a price?
