I experimented with Levinson 333 300W@8ohm , doubling down to 1200W @2ohm , Krell KSA 200s 200W @8ohm that double down to 1600W @ 1ohm vs a few highly rated class D 200W - 400W @8 ohm amplifiers.
On my B&W N801 speaker, the sound quality is comparable below 75dB....do show different "brightness" and "bass punch" which can be subjective in term of preference.
But when playing high dynamic classical music like 1812 overture at peak (not sustained) volume above 94dB, the Class D amplifier sounds compressed relative to Levinson or Krell.
Why is that?
