High end Class D amps?
You should really add these to your list.https://www.cherryamp.com/ Also, take a look over at AudioCircle; there are a number of active forums from Class D manufacturers and a variety of other threads. 
I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?
Try as many as four behind the speakers, two inboard and two outboard
