As wlee says, it will take some development.I'm told by someone in the know that digital amps presently under development will clearly establish their superiority, so it won't take that long.
We are all spoiled by the tremendous development of computer chips, and most of us anticipate similar rapidity for development of switching analog amps. However, the obstacles to good sound are more subtle than those to higher bit densities or switching speeds, and the number of people working on the real problems is very small.
As I see it, the industry problem is that once digital (switching) amps show they are superior for most applications, it will still take a generational change to drag active audio designers away from their comfort-zones. We won't know how good they really can be for decades.
