Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers)

I saw in another discussion you mentioned Nord as being good in the affordable range. I'm wondering if any of these tests you are talking about included IcePower 1200AS based amps as well as the Hypex stuff? 

What I do know is that in one of these tests supposedly the Nuprime Ref 20 fared very well. Did you hear the same?

Uh, oh the georgehifi first law of Class D which is "GaN or bust" would appear to have an issue....

OP, yes the Nord’s were good at their price point under £2k. I understand the revised boards have further improved them but feel that they would still fall behind some of the better class D (and A/B) amps that we tested, but to be fair those other amps are more expensive.

With regard to IcePower 1200AS based amps, we haven’t tried at this time. Our audio friend who conducted a comprehensive test of class D may have but they weren’t mentioned as a Best Buy to me.

As mentioned before don’t get overexcited about GaN, there are better existing class D amps. Perhaps things might change in the future? 

Coming back to integrated class D amplifiers Nuprime might be worth checking out, although we haven’t had personal experience.
