*L* I can't help to view the whole squabble over D amps as akin to the era when SS challenged tubes....(Yeah, I'm old enough for that..).
"It sounds like..." and the whole spectrum of commentary parrots what occurs now.
Dry....Disappointing....Lifeless....an abortion of tech....bound to fail, flaying about in the process....
Fine. Turn off your cell phones, and go back to land lines. Oh, and shut off that flat screen while you're at it.
There's already those amongst this rabble that are hybriding tubes and SS in various configs.
When someone posts that their ears are leaking due to the lack of 'moisture' in the repro of their personal taste of racket from the speakers, Then I'll have a more serious consideration of the 'obvious negative aspects' of (lack of) class D.
I've a couple of the 'low rent' D amps for 'play purposes', and have yet to vomit, break out in hives, have my ears seal shut, or my mind glaze.
No, I didn't expect either to cause an orgasm, either.
On the other hand, it's apparent that the development of D amps is moving along rather nicely, enough to make the naysayers bitch more.
'Twas always, and ever will be, such.
It's called progress. How one views the direction has always been an issue.
Enjoy yourself, mapman....there be critics always, everywhere. ;)
