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?

You must be describing yourself there, because all your shilling here, is "making out" that the Class-D you’ve got coming will be able to drive these hard to drive speakers to sound their best, a little secrete for you, it won’t! -Georgehifi

??? How do know this? My AGD's drive my Wilson's perfectly, my Wilson's never sounded better and i have had more than four decades with Wilson's. You seem to be an expert on what you have never heard or owned. Why post anything when you do not have a leg to stand on, your so far in left field it's not funny.

As mentioned earlier all amps have their pro's and cons.  I've had my share of tube and ss amps over the past 35 years.  Currently using Bel Canto Ref600M's with Rogue RP7 Pre.  I'm not missing my PrimaLuna HP integrated at all.  The kids maybe a little "lighter" but the layers of music are really nice.  I find myself listening to music more rather than listening to equipment.  I'll probably go back to class a at some point but right now I don't miss the weight, heat or sound.  All is good.
