Class D is just Dandy!

I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

Yes most techs will not repair Class-D down to component level, too time consuming and difficult to trace faults with these surface mount, multi-layer boards class-D amps have in them. Because everything is is so tightly packed, so they can squeeze them into mini chassis. 
They just want to install complete "expensive" new board/s.
Trouble is many of the manufacturers don't have old model boards in stock.

Every time I see a thread like this I remember a scene from the movie Gettysburg - "I take men one at a time.  Anyone who judges by the race [group] is a peawit." 

So it is, I think, with Class D, or A, or B, or any other variant.

     Children are not born with biases or prejudices toward any human or amp type, these are both learned behaviors.
