Class D is the suck.

Although they are smaller and generally more efficient than a class A/B. I don't like them for anything but High volume SPL systems.

"Class D" amplifiers tend to share the same inherent flaws.
- horrible mid and high frequency reproduction (to the point where no-manufacturer makes a highly regarded, full range class D amplifier)
- internal switching happens at FM frequencies, so inversely effects FM reception (unless you only listen to your iPod or cd's, this is the biggest issue for most class D amplifier users)
- Dead end amplifier purchase (once you buy it, you can't run anything but subs off of it)


I'd take a good quality class A/B amp any day over a class D.
