We have been consistently distinguishing between the two different meanings
of the conjoined words "class" and "D" for 40 years:

An amplifier with a switching output stage is "class-D"

An amplifier rated in the lowest category of our "Recommended Components"
listing is "Class D"

Study the differences - there will be a test.
