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

If efficiency is the definition of a perfect amp class D is closer than any other. 

     It's my understanding that efficiency has been the primary advantage and raison d'etre of class D amps since the get go. Their further efficiencies in weight, size and cost are just peripheral advantages. 
     Their further relatively constant improvements in performance and sound quality are, in strictly technical terms, just 'friggin breasts'!

If speakers should strive to be efficient why shouldn’t amplifiers? Efficiency is always a good thing. 

Even worse, efficient speakers tend to be big heavy and bulky. Efficient amps the opposite.


Evidently, it was too much to hope for some reasonable discussion of the virtues of the Apollon, with perhaps some owners of competing brands like Nord and March contributing also.  But so the 'gon goes.
I have a March Ncore P502. It's a very neutral amp which to me is the best thing you can say about an amp. Never heard an Apollon but they measure very well and inside they look tidy and well laid out.
