Competitive class D amp suggestions

My Salon 2's are very happy with the Storm PA8. 4x1000w in bridged mode. All the others on 3rd floor. :-)

@niodari being retired and having just closed my business I had a little extra money just sitting there in the account I needed to close out. I was totally satisfied with all my components but my amplifier, which had served me well for years. I decided the amplifier was the last piece in my long journey and the last piece to my puzzle. I went for the Vivace over the Audion because I just happened to have the money at that moment in time and I did not want to feel I should have gone for more power, since my biggest reason for this last upgrade was controlling the bass drivers with more authority. All the additional benefits that came with the amplifier were a huge pleasant surprise. What I learned in upgrading my preamplifier in terms of going for the gusto held true with the amplifier as well. Sometimes in this journey you reach the point that you need to leap big to really hear major improvements. Luckily everything aligned for this last jump. I hope this answers your question.

this is what I always wanted to hear!  It only remains to experience it unless it is taken as faith

@niodari Its easy enough to hear. You don't have to take it on faith.

@smargo  “i probably have said that im not in the market for a new amp - about 100 times”.

😊😀, yep, that can happen.

@atmasphere, this would be true if i were living in the US (it is too complicated to import equipment to Mexico for trial test, each time you receive a gear, you have to pay quite a lot of $$$ due to the duties/taxes). 

Meanwhile, as a "temporary solution", i got a Nuprime ST 10 amp from a local dealer, a reasonably priced used one  (i was left with no class D amp - the right channel in my Cherry Megaschino is almost silent, i  tried to contact  Tommy O'Brien lately without any success so far. the site is there but the emails come back, the telephone is out of service. He was personally dealing with most things, i suggest there is nobody else that can reply or take care of support. Hopefully Tommy is fine (a nice guy), but have no idea on what is happening with his company). 

After 3 days of auditioning, i decided to keep the amp. In fact, it has surpassed my expectations. It is quite fast, dynamic, airy with a considerable sound stage,  frequency extension is good, details are fine. The sound is extremely very clean but still the distortion is tolerable. It is a non-standard class D design, it does get quite hot. The sound is slightly colored, the base is a bit exaggerated, heights are clear, but a bit colored. The overall sound characteristic resembles Pass amps, if you like them, you may like ST 10 (much cheaper, much less power consumption...). This amp can be better than all (more expensive) class D amps i had except the Megaschino (which is broken now). 

After a few days of auditioning,  I suggest that this amp deserves  consideration,  it is a serious piece of gear. In fact, the reviews i read more or less objectively describe  performance of this amp. I wonder how much better could the overall sound be with other available options including more or less reasonably priced Voyager 350 and Orchard amps.
