GaN allows increased switching speed and, thus, the possibility of higher Class-D modulator frequency. This, in turn, allows for better fidelity at high frequencies (at least, theoretically). So if you are using Class-D amps, regardless of the sensitivity of your speakers, then GaN might -- just might -- improve sound quality.
Personally, I've found Class-D to sound superb at low frequencies, but somewhat clinical at high frequencies. Perhaps GaN will solve that problem.
As always: YMMV.
