All I can say is that my bias against class D amps has evaporated after listening to the L SA Voyager. I have had some awesome Class A, class A/B and tube amps in my systems. I know good to excellent sound and I hear it with the Voyager - it is excellent. Is it the best amp in the world? I doubt it. Nevertheless, the amp is a superb clean, crystalline, spacious amp with great tone colors. It doesn't break your back to pick up and move around either.
Maybe it has trouble driving difficult loads but it has zero difficulty blissfully driving my modded Revel F208s. There are tradeoffs with virtuly any purchase of stereo equipment. I love and have several behemoth Class A amps that I can herniated my back from lifting, the best being my PassLabs X250.5 that is being modded at present. I am very happy with the Voyager and have no longing for my other amps.
I had no idea class D could sound like this and I am sure it can be made to sound better. I am no golden ear but, IMO, I have fairly good ears. The Class D gallium nitride amps seem to be the real deal.
