Class D switching amps - Bel Canto
Anybody out there using a Class D digital amp? Like the Bel-Canto amps? Just wondering what people think about these. They are usually less expensive than Class A/B amps, light weight by comparison, use less electricity, run totally cool, and are still very powerful. Sounds like a dream right? Yet there seem to be many angry critics of this technology. Thoughts? Thanks.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about:

yeah, spectron, made by inventor of class d amps
john ulrich, one of the founders of infinity systems. it makes sense that he might have the best one.
channel islands audio amps like the d200s are also quite good. my friend was using them on the maggie mg12s and i first heard them driving von schweikert spks of the $60k variety.
certainly worth considering.
it sounds like something was wrong
with the demo. even the best of them can set something up wrong. i believe you heard what you heard but like i said in the title.
here is a review of the spectron musician III
