Oh how I wish Class D amps ...

I sure wish manufacturers and designers would move forward as quickly as is possible on improving the current status of Class D amps ... I have heard them all, some in my own system, and they have SO mcu promise !!! Unfortunately they just do not have it down yet. They still sound dry, unmusical, and strange in the treble ... kind of chalky and rolled off, and definitely lacking air.
I long for the day I can get rid of my hundred pound Class AB monster amp, for a nice small cool running amp that sounds just as good. I am worried though that designers and manufacturers have accepted the " It sounds good enough" opinion, and that the B&O Ice power may be a long time before it is "fixed"... sigh.
Just my rant ...

Well, that's really nice of you first of all.

I'd have to hear his components in his room to make a recommendation.

Make sense to you?
Thanks for your thoughts.
I know you speak for the entire ag readership.
Or think you do.

Atmasphere, I have walked away from that part of my discussion. The move to the preamp I am using was made years ago when the audio picture was different. I am just happy with the way things turned out.

Audiofeil, the truth of the matter is, you can't make any worthwhile recommendation on my system unheard. Perchance you hear my system I suggest you would not have the temerity to challenge any component comprising my system.

OK. But FWIW, there should be no problem with almost any preamp, tube or transistor, driving a class D amp.
