Class D for a Tube Lover


First, I'm sure this has been asked many times but searching the subject wasn't too helpful to me.

So apologies in advance.

I enjoy tubed electronics and class A amps, which tend to be a bit warm.  My current Cary 805s warm my small (12x16) music room even in the cool/cold of winter.  I've got other amps that don't produce much heat, but am looking for something that produces no heat.  Living in a home with no central AC the room gets uncomfortably hot during the summer months.

So...I'd like to try some Class D amps.  Stereo or mono is just fine.  And my speakers aren't difficult to drive so I don't need a thousand watts.  But if that thousand watt amp sounds great, I'm not adverse to that, either.

I'd like to keep the price under 2k used.  

Please help.

Thanks.

Also I would avoid the Rogue Sphinx in any version, my experience echoes the poster who experienced audible hiss - very mediocre sounding amp, the Clones Audio 25irh I had at the time blew it away. 
People, PAY ATTENTION!!!
Class D sonics depend on the load!

At least look at the first graph for the 6 Class D amplifiers below to see how much variation there is into benign standard loads. FAR MORE than the ’NIGHT & DAY’ differences cables make. Real world loudspeakers are MUCH MORE VARIABLE!

Fanboy recommendations are worthless & DOUBLY SO for Class D!!!!
Class D has improved dramatically.  Check out "D Sonics".  Great reviews online.  On a whim I purchased their top monoblocks 3Ma-1500.  Less than $3K new.  On my Sonus Faber Guarneri's they held their own vs my McIntosh MC601's at 1/5 of the cost, and drive my Maggies better than anything I've tried....including the Mc's, Primare and Bryston.  I gave up trying to unseat them.  Great amps.....period. 
I had Wyred 4 Sound amps with class A tube pre amps and it is a good pairing.  W4S tend to be a bit warm also. 
If your speakers are higher sensitivity then a high power amp may not be good pairing as your pre amp will not be in the sweet spot which is typically 12-3 o'clock on the volume dial.

Not in business any longer. Their class D amps are great. I owned them. Used them with Wilsons sounded great. Also use VAC amps as well .
They sound just as warm
