Anyone Recently Change to Class D power?

How would you place the performance of the NAD C298 compared to it's most popular AB competition like the Rotel RB-1582 or Parasound A23+? 

Am not a huge fan of Rotel or Parasound personally.  I find they are both competent but unexciting amps.  They need exciting speakers to be at their best.  
This is obviously a matter of taste.  

I think the C298 is more dynamic.  It is not in upper echelon like the Chords or AVMs but at $2K, I love it.  Would be my first choice in that price range if it was with neutral to slightly bright speakers.

I like ICEpower a lot more than I like a lot of megabuck Class A.

I also swapped out my ICEpower for Luxman.

My point is, you really can't grade sound quality by amp type anymore. Listen for yourself and find out what you like, but yes, lots of really great Class D amps out there that will sound great and save you a bundle.

No stereo shops around here -- I'll just have to choose something and hope I guessed right.  :D

Not a chance that I would change my Aesthetix Atlas for a class D
