Hi Bill, I've heard great things about the Rotel Class D, unfortunately I have not heard one yet. There seems to be a growing unfounded negativity toward digital amps. As you know there are more classes of digital than just "D". My Linn is digital, Class V, it drives my Dyn's just fine. Any issues I have with sound quality is inherent to the amp itself. My Linn is 5x125 watts and weighs in at a whopping 11 lbs. I have yet to run out of power. People can no longer stereotype these types of amps, there are good and bad as in any other amp technology. If digital is done correctly it can have great results.

One of the guys on the board had his Pioneer receiver hooked to an Accurus amp, I asked him if he had ever tried the internal digital amps. After asking him he became curious and gave them a try. He now uses the internal amps.

A Rotel dealer shouldn't have a problem with a demo, I say give it a spin.
