High End Amp Price Collapse musings

As Class D advances it will eat into the high end class A market.

Not yet advanced enough for me.  I tried but found out the hard way and have returned to big Class A iron, like Bilbo Baggins, "There and Back Again."

" Once Class D is close enough in quality even some of the deep pocket Krell, Pass etc guys will switch.
Once that happens they will sell thier existing gear which will gradually bring the value of that existing gear down giving not so deep pockets the chance to own true high end as it exists today."

And why exactly is this going to happen if Class D isn't demosntarbly better? 

Ok, ok, ok...so I hooked up my upgraded Krell Vanguard and compared to the BlueSound Powernode 2 it sounds....drumroll please.....more weighty, organic and smoother with increased presence.  I can also turn it up louder and the it doesn't get harsh.  That said, I still think that Class D has great potential.

With so many Class D amps and price points it's not possible so say Class D is not there yet, or I tried and it is not good enough yet etc...

All that can really be said is " I tried one or two and that particular amp was not as good as my...."  

We really cannot paint across the whole Class D universe with a broad brush. It is reasonable you like this or that amp better. 

I like my digital amp better then many of Tube and Class A amps I have owned, but I cannot say it bests all amps in the amp universe. 

True....we all have different expectations and biases!
