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 see a slight problem in Michael Fremer’s review of the PSA amps...he and Paul McGowan happen to be very good friends...so..for reality’s sake...I would take that review with a grain of salt.

It's Fremer. If a dog looked like a turntable, he would claim its bark sounded like Pavarotti. I take anything he says with a bottle of salt.

Ha! Photos or it didn't happen. If he wants a classy Italian early 70s motorbike that he can actually ride without fear of it stranding him, maybe a Laverda instead of a Ducati. A Laverda from that period is far more reliable, far more likely to still be running this whole time, whereas a Duck has probably spent most of its time in boxes, moving from garage to garage.


I sold off my motorbikes except for my Moto Guzzi LeMans (which will probably go on the chopping block this spring). I was getting too fat so I switched to bicycles.
