If you want a truly exceptional sounding class D amp at a very reasonable price, check out LSA's offering of the Discovery Warp 1 amp. This is a very, very capable amp that has dynamics and articulation while at the same time, sounding smooth and full bodied. At the moment, it is the primary amp in my listening room and it pairs nicely with Elac speakers. In full disclosure, I have the DIY version of this amp with the exception of the PSU. The Warp 1 has a better spec'd one. Check out the full features of this amp on the LSA website. It's a nice deal at their introductory price of $1199.
