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

The modules in your photos are not the modules in the Dutch and Dutch
So your saying you can get a pic of the modules in the Dutch and Dutch so you can post one up???

If not then time will tell when we finally see a pic of the module, if they are not the Pascal M-Pro2 made by Sanway China, that are used in the Rowland Research and Red Dragon amps. 
We’ll have to wait and see what they are, to see if Pascal are capable of making their own modules instead of using Sanway or any others, as they have done.

Looks very to me, like it could be one of the 50 odd different subwoofer/PA modules Sanway makes, has a very similar layout to them all, time will tell when a pic of one comes up.

If so then I tip my hat to Dutch and Dutch.

The 8c's cumulative spectral-decay plot (fig.6) is one of the cleanest I have measured, especially in the treble! In summing up the Dutch & Dutch 8c's measured performance, all I can say is "Wow!"—John Atkinson

A very expensive ($12,000usd) active 2 way speaker, with questionable origins for the class-D module inside.
