High End Amp Price Collapse musings

If Class D amplification becomes accepted by audiophiles there should be a glut of high end amps (Krell, Levinson, Pass etc) becoming available on the used market at prices a fraction of what they are now.

Think CRT TV when the flat panels began emerging.I think Ill hold off on a new/used amp purchase for a little while. Maybe I will bet a Boulder.

Has any one else considered this?

I haven't heard any class D amps that can surpass the sound quality of a good class A amp yet.

I agree with okeeteekid completely.  I was interested in class D amps a while back, but after hearing a few (including Devialet), I still think class D technology has a long way to go before being able to compete with class A sound.
