Class D amps that are superior to all or most?


Recently, I have heard about some Class D amps that may be close to the best there is regardless of class. Certainly, this technology has been in development for decades. The main issue has always been the switching power supply. In this regard, I have taken notice of AGD. They have created a whole new power supply that “switches” at a frequency 100 times the normal silicon based MOSFET. The designer uses a gallium nitride based PS. Interesting, it is enclosed in the KT88 glass envelope that sits on top of his amps. I am aware of two more pricey amps that seem to be also at the top- the Solution and the Merrill. There must be others that compete for the title. After my thread, “Is there a SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy?”, I am still on the quest.
Don’t want to spend $50K!

wait, what? Did I read your closing comment to George correctly? Are you back making the EVS 1200s?

and you can have a dual mono stereo modified version (remember.....1200 watts into 4 ohm.....drove the Alexx speakers fine) for a little over $2000 delivered to your door.
Not exactly.  What I can do is modify the Rouge Audio Design Studio N-10DM dual mono IceEdge amp that can be purchased and delivered here in the US for $1600.  I then add my mods ($550) to it and it will be identical to your EVS 1200 amp minus the extra copper and aluminum plates I added in that product.

Oh SO "blah".

"Sound quality and music enjoyment–wise, the LKV Research Veros PWR+ amplifier sits on a higher mountain than any other class-D amp I've encountered. It seems like Bill Hutchins made a slew of listening-inspired design decisions which, in concert, led to this extraordinarily natural-sounding power amp. I will be surprised if it measures super-low THD-wise, but, rest assured, I smiled contentedly every minute it was playing music in my room."

"Today, most commercial loudspeakers feature reactive, low-impedance loads. Why? Because watts are cheap? Unfortunately, cheap watts often sound like crap watts. Fortunately, Bill's watts sound like limitless, sensual, tactile, luxury class-A watts. On the speakers I used, the Veros PWR+ put minnows, crappies, and my favorites, bass and catfish, into the once-empty class-D pond. Gleefully recommended."
