Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?

Class D is great for my outdoor system in the backyard.
Listening when swimming or having a cookout. Not critical listening.

That just means you haven’t found the right setup then or it’s perhaps just not for you.

And your is of the small pond you are a big fish in.

That thankfully, your countenance will never reflect in.
You'd scare all the fish away.
Looks like earlflynn is gonna have a relapse and we're gonna see a redux of his Juneteenth/Father's Day meltdown.
Get your popcorn and have the kids leave the room. 👍

@mapman , what you describe is pretty much what I've read about the Technics. Sound with no unnecessary flavoring. Only one reviewer felt that it sounded a bit cooler when running coax from the SACD companion piece. He went onto say that it was like listening to someone who perfected their playing but sounding a bit robotic. All of the reviewers loved playing their turntables through it, but I just use CDs, so there's that.

@tvad , thanks. But earlflynn is not gonna change anytime soon.

All the best,
Nonoise

The questions the OP asked was will all other amps fade away, no I don’t think so, is class D poised to take over, if having close to 90% of the amplifier market is considered taking over then yes it already has. It’s not what your preferences are everyone’s taste varies even from day to day. Class D amps are everywhere most likely everyone on this forum has a couple of them. I know I have at least a dozen.

I’m a class A guy. Nothing against class D. I’m glad designers have figured out the shortfalls. I think that will be good for the hobby in general. The more flavors,the better.  I also don’t think you will see class A,or A/B fade away to extinction. I’m guessing there is going to be enough enthusiasts like me to keep class A,(and A/B) afloat.
