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

OK, so in the world of Purifi, alongside Apollon (Austria)
https://www.apollonaudio.com/

or March (Australia)

or Nord (G.B.)

you're also got ATM Audio (Spain)

Audiophonics (France)

Rouge (Italy)

and Vera (Norway)

among others.

In the US you've got VTV, so beloved of a certain member of Audiogon
https://vtvamplifier.com/

and at a very different price point LKV

A lot of these produces share the same or similar input buffers and power supplies, as well as the Purifi module, though it isn't always clear on the websites exactly what goes into each unit.  Some differences are attributable to the quality and cleanness of the construction, some (perhaps) to design, unique components, and topology.

GaN is already here with Orchard, AGD and others, while the much-delayed and much-anticipated LSA Voyager is reportedly coming soon (perhaps).

And mid Feb so they say, the integrated with everything, the SU-R1000 from Technics promises to be the pinnacle of affordable Class-D design using GaN technology, and "hopefully using the same as their flagship SE-R1 1.5mHz switching speed" which should take it to where Class-D promises to be, but hasn’t as yet..

Atmosphere, you are bulls eye, on the money. Thank you for your contributions here! 

I can just imagine people trying to figure out your comment,What a class D amp potentially brings to the table is the ability to be neutral in a way that most solid state amps of traditional design cannot: they can be designed to lack brightness and harshness." Absolutely! I have used the amp on review on the hybrid PAP Treo15 Horn 1 and it is gloriously precisely as you describe. 

Our skeptics will doubt it. Their loss. 
 
NAD uses Purifi in the M33 and the C298. ATM also  uses the purifi in a couple of builds.
@atmasphere, I have not heard a recent Class D amp in my home, as of this time. What I have heard was not to my liking. I have tried a few " T " amps ( chip amps, for those who might not know ), and although was surprised, not to my liking. I would love for some manufacturer to send me one as an evaluation piece, and let me live with it for a month or two ( I do hear and respond to component break in ). I considered the XTZ Edge A2-300 at $500., but after hearing a comparison on a YT video ( Thomas and Stereo ), to a $4K Classe D200 Class D ( yes, a YT video ), I would not be happy with the XTZ. I am very patient, and I do feel any number of Class D amplifiers would bring me closer to what I am trying to achieve. Just do not want to spend much, at this time, to find out ( been there, done that ). I ALWAYS appreciate your feedback. My best, and be well !
