Bel Canto makes some nice stuff. I believe they use ICE from B&O in their class D amps. The Hypex (UCD), imho sound better. Try a Channel Island D-200 amp. The Channel Island amps may not be using the newest HG modules from Hypex. I'm not sure.
Hypex has made some great leaps in the last 2 years. The company has introduced HG modules with new regulators that sound amazing. Kharma is using Hypex modules in their MP series big buck amps. The technology is proven and sounds really nice. I am now on a second pair of class D amps. I had previously a Karan integrated ($8k) and Melos MAT180 tube amp. The class D is a nice middle ground between good solid state and good tube amp sound. Looking back to the 50's when car manufacturer's were messing around with the new technology fuel injection. Some dropped it after a few years. Now it is on every car made. Technology has finally caught up with the idea as is true with class D. A review written a year or two ago about class D sound is now mute.
