RE: "giant killing" class D amps?

i think those of us who love class D are more in the "clinical detail freak" camp than the "lush & liquid" crowd.

class D & acoustic suspension sounds sterile to them, while ports & tubes sound thick & distorted to us, or at least me.

system balance counts though.

NHT superzero x NAD = bad, lifeless wet blanket sound

NHT superzero x panasonic SA-XR = ALMOST acceptable cowbells

energy RC10 x SA-XR = hyperdetailed, slightly analytical sound that LITERALLY, and pun intended, doesn't sound as believably liquid as NHT/SA-XR on baka forest people's water drums 1, but kicks much butt on ALL percussion (a top priority for me)

energy RC10 x cambridge audio = beautiful easygoing, slightly lush, sound ignoring the RC10's chose your poison... port resonance, or cabinet resonance plugged no win scenario
