For me, it's the PWM amp's amazing power and control over bass frequencies and the speed and transparency that compliments the tube preamp's bloom and naturalness. And as an added bonus, it runs nice and "cool".

Reinventing the wheel has context in that there has been a progression of designs over the decades: tubes > solid state > switching > ? . To say that we don't need another amp technology is to say that tube and solid state stereo amplification is perfect, which is absurd. Keep an open mind and you'll see with open eyes. Or more appropriately, hear with open ears. :-)

Regards,
Tom

and using an OLD Class D that fits well in/with my system, which existed with previous Class D amps
but initially was "built around" a Will Vincent ST-70.

It's all been about sounding good to sounding better. Sounding best will have to wait.

As for powered Class D speakers, they don't interest me with the exception of the sub I use.

Sorry I meant to say using it as a power amp. I'm all for the powered speaker development end.
