Class "D" is a digital amp that has very high efficiency delivering a power with minimal heat dissipation. Many manufacturers now make full-range digital amps such as Cambridge, TacT and others...
Do a search on digital amps and you'll find many standalone amplifiers that are digital. More are coming out. It will be the next big deal in power amplifier design.
here's a good thread:

BTW, they are not new. Infinity had a class D switching amp about 25 years ago.
