Digital Amp's


Hi All,
I was wondering what everyone thinks of the newer Digital Amps that are becoming more common. I think these Amps are known as Class D amps. Belcanto is one company that seems to be pushing this line, but most seem to be coming from the giants like yamaha and panasonic.

What are the pros and cons of these AMP's over your everyday Class A/AB amp?
Any recommendations or condemnations for digital amps?

Thanks in Advance

Muralman1. I do not doubt your statements here however, it would be appropriate here to qualify the speaker you were using to compare the two topologies and keep things in perpective.When you mentioned "None preferred the class A amp" over the ice amp..... Driving an Apogee Scintilla with any amplifier regardless of the amplifiers topology can be a compromise at best and certainly not an appropriate analogy here. Perhaps the very reason you elected to choose the H20 to begin with,no? Futhermore, what class A amps were you using for comparison? Most of us are aware that all amps are not created equal regardless of topology. While I have never heard the H2O, I have heard a few other ice amps and like Faziod....I wouldn't put them in the same leaugue as the better pure class A amps out there.
