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 ...

Atmasphere:
It was not directed at you and i do not have an axe to grind, just calling it as i see it, but I'm sure there are others who recognize the tone..

Regardless of the discussion, Tube amps,Soundlab speakers or special gravity defying horns, anything else brought up for discussion is dismissed by such.

Weseixas, OK- Perhaps I am experiencing some form of cognitive disorder, but I'm just not making sense of what you are saying here. What do you mean by 'others who recognize the tone' and 'dismissed by such'?

Audiofeil,
You denounced his system without hearing it, funny how the cookie crumbles for those with an agenda.<<

I did not denounce his system. This was my post:

"I can assure you from speaking to customers with systems far more sophisticated than yours"

That is simply a true statement. Perhaps you're dyslexic.

Agenda? Absolutely not. I've not mentioned nor discussed a single product in which I have a financial interest. Please see my dyslexia comment again.

If you are able.

"I can assure you from speaking to customers with systems far more sophisticated than yours"

This one I missed.... There in lies the proof of Audiofeil's agenda. What makes him think he knows any systems more sophisticated than mine, or Mapman, or any of the others here? What is meant by singling his customers out? It is because they spent a lot more money than I. He has to justify their purchases. Money don't buy love and money doesn't insure you of getting the best.

Atmasphere, your amps are lovely, and I am sure they sound wonderful. I have had the pleasure of hearing a six figure tube system a number of times, and the sound is quite lovely.

LOL...

You can run Audiofeil, but you can't hide....

Now what is a sophisticated system ? how does one determine such? is it a case of placing grey poupon on the speakers when listening...
