We are now into the third generation of solid-state amplifier designers
and each generation has learned from the previous one. It is rare, these
days, to find a solid-state amplifier that isn't well-engineered, unless
it has been compromised for reasons of cost.

See the linked review below for my recent measurements of a modern,
no-compromise class-D design. (Scroll down past the digital section
measurements.)
