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

I use almost all types of amplifiers and class D can sound great if implemented properly. I do at times use a tube preamplifier with class D you get that warmth and lite from within quality that tubes do so well with the low noise massive dynamics and great bass drive that class D amps can produce. 

Can I simply inquire as to whether the new age of Class D amps are fostering that feeling of warmth and body that one gets from Tube or Solid State amps?

@briggtrim If the class D amp is designed properly, yes, it will sound smooth with warmth and body like a tube amp, something a conventional solid state amp (IME) cannot do.

You can certainly get plenty of body and warmth out of SS amps.It may not be typical for the breed but SS amps like that are not hard to find.Most of the Nelson Pass amps,Audio Flight,Electrocompaniet,Usher,Sugden,Dartzeel and
 many more.And Bakoons which are really special and seem to combine the very best traits of SETs and class A SS.
If you combine a DHT preamp and a transparent SS amp you are most of the way towards a very good tube like sound.

I've never owned a DHT tube preamp, but with the octal preamp and solid state amp I'm using now I tend to agree.

I just got the Technics SU-G700 and love it, but I feel it's an acquired taste.

I'm not 100% sold on the class D vs ??? Debate (don't know enough), but I was really tempted to get the SU-R1000, and am in love with the SU-G700. It sounds great, but as others have said it really fluctuates it's sound based on what other source components you have before and after it.

It seems like it obviously has more potential than your classic integrated amplifier, but again some of the new things/tech could be gimmicky, and others may not like the tonality of it all.

The most interesting thing about this amplifier is that my DAC (Gustard X26 Pro) which has three filter settings and according to the internet primarily only is one good (Vivid), sounds overly bright and almost has the degree of reverb that resignates through most vocals with LAPC enabled. When utilizing all the Technics digital wizardry the amp doesn't project the sound of vocals as well forward as my other amps (as opposed to off center right or left IDKW?). 

This is a really strange kind of amp, but I love it and it does sound really good!
