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.

The small and mighty AGD AUDION GaN monoblocks. They changed the way I look at class D. I could write at length about them but as a class A/SET lover, I hold them on the same hollowed ground. Never thought I’d be expressing that sentiment about class D...These are keepers. 
Keep telling yourselves it’s amazing. 

    Class D is so far below the sparkle and relaxing tube sound. 
   It’s a Yugo  against a bmw M5.    There is no comparison!
Why not check out the VTV Purifi Amplifier with custom input buffer. Select the Opamp or Tube input of your choice. Check out my Youtube channel DIY HiFi Life for details.

I would also concur with SPEC amps.  As Bjeisen said they are not cheap.  Also they like a higher impedance load.  I would not describe them as tubey but they do sound richly toned with higher impedance speakers like Zu Omen and DeVore O93.
