agree somewhat....

...but I am not one to thinks that 'things are always better than they were, because now is now and then was then' - half of the pressure in the industry to change technologies comes from factors other than 'improving sound' - like convenience, archiving, energy efficiency, etc....

And, comparing new equipment to 20 year old equipment is fraught with difficulties, leaving aside that aural memory is extremely short, the Classe cannot possibly sound as good now as it did then (even electronics age).

Also, maybe your OTL were not matched to the right speakers. The research you did on the Class Ds, would have worked for the OTLs as well in terms of system matching (although precious few speakers match well with this technology).

I'd be surprised when much of anything made today still works in 20 years.

Hell, we might not even be using A/C anymore then.
