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 don't agree that today's class D can be compared to constantly evolving computers

My EVS1200 is a dual mono using IcePower As1200 modules which are highly tweaked by EVS.

See the new Stereophile review of PS Audio M1200s. As amazed as MF is, I bet they can't hold EVS jock strap
tweak1, I think your right that Class D amps are not evolving as fast as computers, but they are evolving (for the better?) that is why I emphasized maybe as a matter of opinion. Your EVS 1200 is a good example of good sound doesn't become antiquated.

I remember the first Class D amp that was successfully marketed and sold to the public, the PS Audio HCA-2 . Stereophile placed it in their Class A category and a reviewer stated that there would be many more designs to come but he doubted that any of them would sound as good as the HCA-2. Was he right?
Prior to reviewing,  I owned two PS Audio HCA-2 units. Sold them not too long after because A and A/B kicked its ass. Now, it's reversed and class D is kicking ass on other classes of amps. It's going to be carnage. 
Got to say, the PuriFi class D amps I got from Apollon sound REALLY good. Clear and detailed without any edge.
@mike_in_nc,Apollon seems to be a great choice for PuriFi based amps. What was the amp it replaced? Any comparison that you can share?
