Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???


I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

I hope that something comes along help you snap out of your obsession with trashing class D

It will as I’ve said below, and I don’t trash class-D, I give their "Achilles Heels" x 2 problems they have, that GaN will fix if used like Technics with the SE-R1 did. then I will get one. If you can’t understand that, then that’s your problem.

I will have a 200w GaN prototype soon. Even if it is amazingly better, it will cost significantly more, and out of range of my budget.
 (jetter, You lose your audience when whatever you have you oversell.)
This again will make many think, test pilot? 

And shouldn't cost much more as it just the GaN transistors vs Mosfet, that are little more expensive.

important to you to be caught up in it, point of reference, we are not.
Then why even bother commenting at all.

Enjoy your obsession.
You got the last 5 letters right, but you misspelled it, it’s passion, subjectively, objectively and technically.

Getting hung up on theoretical problems (all designs have them) without regard to the audibility of said problems is a waste of time.  Am another new convert to pro audio amps.  I have been listening to a Crown XLS1502 for the last three weeks driving my PSB T2's.   It sounds as good as anything else I've heard.  That said, I am not a megabuck audio consumer.  The amp I just sold was an NAD C275BEE.   Audiophiles don't take pro amps seriously because they're not expensive enough.  Too bad.   I  am getting great sound from a 300wpc/8ohms amp that can deliver over 1000 bridge for mono and lists for just a bit over $400.  I paid just under $300 for mine when I lucked into a deal.   Buy a used one.  Clear the audiophile propaganda about pro equipment out of your mind and listen for a few weeks.  If you don't like it, sell it on.
