You and Martin Collums are lone wolves screaming in the wilderness!
There are thousands who think Class D sounds good. Do a search.
Rowland, Nuforce, Bel Canto, Hypex, Tripath and numerous other major manufacturers are now producing excellent Class D products and more are getting on board everyday. If this market wasn't exploding, these companies certainly wouldn't be wasting their resources on a *failed technology*.
The market is driving the push to Class D because so many people think it sounds great. Not only is it cost effective and efficient, but many, many people believe it sounds as good as or better in some respects than conventional Class A amps. But just like Class A amps, implementation means everything. Class D amps manufactured with a minimum of effort are good for plate amps and inexpensive mass market stereo. But Class D has evolved and will continue to do so. The designers who are pushing the envelope are creating world class sound from Class D.
You can hold on to your *conventional* dogma all you want. That doesn't change the fact that you are swimming against the tide. You can be a dinosaur or embrace change; either way the revolution will continue.
Nostalgia is great, but appreciate it for what it is.
