I thought a while ago that class D would quickly overtake amplifier design type mainly due to profit margin which I think would be much greater than A/B and tube. I'm not saying the other design styles would go away, just that D would be the most common style. Clearly my prediction is not panning out
I think not. Sounds like you’re missing the newer generation of amps employing the likes of GaN and Purify technology and are garnering huge praises. When Ralph at @atmasphere introduces a GaN amp and in some ways prefers it to his incredible OTL tube amps, well, that’s about as big of a statement I could think to hear about how far the newer technology has progressed. To me, the handwriting seems to be on the wall where this is going as designers better learn to “tune” the latest digital components as they wish. I think your prediction is absolutely panning out and in the next few years will come to fruition.
