I haven't heard a class D amp I would own.
I ended up keeping the Crown XLS1500 for the garage system. It's not replacing the NAD 326BEE, but rather supplanting it for some occasions. It's not bad sounding and sometimes it's really nice to crank the Advents with 300 watts a side vs 50 while I'm washing cars or putting around outside. I can also leave it up 24/7 in the closet where the gear lives.
...that allowed me to hear the emotion of the performance.
That's where the NAD is clearly superior, especially at the top. The Crown's response is clean there, but just lifeless with little in the way of natural ambience or air of the recorded space. I love hearing high frequency percussion like cymbals, triangles and chimes where the overtones hang in the air with their decay.
With the Crown, you get the fundamental - and then it's over. I keep waiting for the rest...
