> > I'm also looking into class D due to their high watts, light weight and small size. Although back 10 years that also meant high failure and bad sound. But it's been awhile so perhaps new technology has improved them. Still no feedback has generally sounded better to me so we'll see. < <
I'm also in the same boat. Ayre's design philosophy is to only make products that we know are superior to the competition's. There are obvious advantages to class D - smaller, lighter, and cooler temperatures - all of which means less expensive.
I keep monitoring the situation, and while class-D keeps improving, as far as I can tell they are not there yet. Every year is a new product that people claim is finally "the one" that is just as good as a linear amp using linear supplies. And every year is a few truth-tellers who admit that when compared, that the class-D amp isn't really quite there yet. For the money, maybe so. But not in terms of actual musical enjoyment. YMMV.
