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?

My current Class D amp is the AGD Audion.
There are about a half dozen+ Forum members all saying the same thing… they are uniquely superb.

A brand new result of the unique performance of the AGDs is that every record in my collection is now highly listenable, to say the least. Regardless of recording quality, the AGDs bring out the essential beauty. Quite a bargain for a whole new LP collection!

That’s great, I’m not saying/never it’s not with the right speaker loading.

I’m correcting someone who has attempted to misinform the members here, about what speakers they can’t drive to their best, either through total lack of EPDR load understanding or outright just wishful thinking because they own one, and think they are the answer to everything🙏

Cheers George

I hope not, that tranzsedentic music is the worst....

@mglik Thank you for the information. I am going to try and demo them and see if I can audition in my system.
I like to try things and see for my self. If they don't work out I sell them here...
Can only formulate an opinion based on first hand information and I never base it on a spec sheet alone.
If I did I would have never purchased the greatest sounding non up-scaling DAC on the planet. BP SE-i
