RE: Definitely...

...I've been told class D amps work well with Maggies because their high damping factor stops the speakers from ringing.

The Pass X-350 was the best solid state amp I heard on the Thiels - no brightness but nice rich harmonic - until I began to notice upper mid grain I couldn't stand.

The reviews say the Pass .5 upgrade made a big positive change to the amp but I never had the opportunity to try it.

Class D sounds similar to other solid state amps, but they offer size and heat advantages - and they all sound different.

From listening to the Merrill and the Devialet reviews, I'd say class D is improving but at a huge price.

Maybe it will trickle down.
