Ah yes, crossed messages as such (not that you were saying it to me...). They look really promising.How about some of the First Watt amps, yeah, I know, not Class D.

I realised a while ago that if I moved to efficient speakers I could save thousands on amps. In that context the Temple Bantam One with a Khozmo passive pre is the best amplification I’ve had, all for less than the cost of a Naim Hi-Cap.
Alex - I have no amp experience outside of a Naim 250 and now an Avondale'd 250 with the upgraded NCC220 boards. Do you have any idea how the Bantam One compares ?I have the Temple Bantam Gold, the mono blocks (with DC2 & 3 Sean Jacobs PSUs) doing useful things in second and third systems. My main system has the Bantam One (built as a power amp only because that’s what I wanted) and it’s better than the mono blocks whilst looking a lot nicer. So I’d start there.
Are some of you here of the opinion that Class D (or the likes) is now perhaps as capable as A, A/B, valves etc - irrespective of price?
I heard somewhere that the switching noise in class D could be an issue.
