I bet your Class D amps are going to sound great.
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

georgehifi atmasphere Dream on sunshine, were talking about driving the Wilsons mentioned here. Trust you to try to skew it around to make out that your OTL amps could even come close to driving these, the hardest of Wilsons to drive (Always looking for the self promoting angle) |
@invalid.FYI. These guys claim that wattage doubles (close enough) at 4ohms. Pathos Classic MK III Specifications Type: Integrated amplifier in Class A/AB, hybrid circuit with input tube stage, bridgeable Pathos LOGOS
The Logos uses MOSFETs in the output stage, known for their tube-like
transfer characteristics, in a design that attempts to come sonically as
close as possible to Pathos’ patented InPol circuitry. InPol is the
only amplifier design, hybrid or solid-state, that gives the full glory
of a tube amplifier but with control. Look at the numbers: 110 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and an amazing 220 watts into 4 ohms, with full bandwidth
