you need not spend mega bucks anymore to get great sound amplification.
Over the decades, I have owned a lot of different manufacturers class D amps, some were dogs, a few were really good (PS Audio M700s, Audio Alchemy DPA-1), but the class D module that does it for me is the IceEdge 1200AS, at least when highly tweaked as Ric Schultz has done. It’s a shame he is no longer making them, but PS Audio recently introduced their version, the M1200s with tube buffer ($6k: Gulp!), but right around the corner are reasonably priced GaN amps. And while it remains to be heard how they will compare to the high priced class A and AB offerings (or to one another for that matter) they will likely be ~ $4K, which is still a lot of $$$$$
I have seen a number of the PSA M700s on the used market in the $2K range, which is a veritable bargain by comparison to any amp regardless of type in the $4K+ price range
