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

I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

Tweak1, I mentioned just Sugden for some good reasons, firstly they made the world’s first pure class-A transistor amplifier, they are regarded as the benchmark for class A, and seeing as I own one and it’s my last amplifier I’ll buy.

Class D amps today are so much better than the ones 5-10 years ago. That has been said for the last 30 years.

I have had my AGD Vivace amps now for a month or so. I have sold my Luxman M600-a class a 30 watter plus some other ss and tube amps. I did not think it could get better-I was wrong. Try some diff class d amps. I tried some a few years back and that was terrible. The AGD and Merrill companies seem to lead the pack-both sound very good but the AGD is just a step above in my opinion.
