Class D is affordable and sounds as good or better the SS/Valve why buy anything else ?


I have spent a fair amount of my hard earned money on big ticket brand new SS and VT/Valve amplifiers over the years without hesitation, with state of the art 2019 class D amplifiers becoming cheaper and sounding better, i wouldn't join in again.

For older technology amplifiers SS VT/Valve to compete with State of the art class D, Their prices are going up and up.

One example is Pilium Audio from Greece or Bulgaria their Divine Line the prices are all over £100,000 for their pre amps and power amps, I know the UK importer he said they sound OK,

Another example FM Acoustics again up to and over £100,000 for pre and power amps. i have owned FM Acoustics pre and power again their OK,

I am not saying they do not sound good, i am saying why spend this much when state of the art class D probably sounds as good now and can only improve with the GaN capacitors and is nearly up to 100 times cheaper.

Is there still a market for multi thousand £$s SS or VT/Valve amplifiers ?

When class D finally overtakes SS VT/Valves what will people do with their multi thousand £$ amplifiers, keep them knowing there is something better ? Or will we see the market flood with exotic used amplifiers ?

Digital technology is rapidly growing pace and becoming cheaper, with GaN capacitors being introduced the sound is going to get better and better and will slowly or quickly become even more affordable.

If you had 50,000 to spend on an Amplifier, would you buy a high ticket SS amplifier and hope for the best ?

Would you stay safe and go with high ticket valve amp, class D can never match good valves right ?

Or would you sit tight and see how the GaN capacitors can further improve the performance of state of the art class D ?

Please feel free to join in, everybody is welcome, i think its a very delicate/touchy discussion for some people with big bucks invested in older type amplifiers.

Mike I am going to send you a pm I have some questions about your new pure music jr I am very interested!
I'm no longer selling any of the amps I have spoke of here. So no advertising here. The bottom line is if you have no experience with today's class D, then none of your posts regarding todays class D are relevant. I think that's a pretty easy thing to understand for most people. 
I have zero reason to prove anything to you, nor any reason to name manufactures and drag their reputation thrue the mud. I am not the one on here with an agenda to peddle wares. That's you. 
Imagine reading car and driver and they’re comparing a 2003 Prius with a 2019 Tesla. Would that provide the readers with any useful information? If you’re not here to contribute useful data to the conversation, what is your agenda?
I have listened to some of the most highly regarded class d amps on the market. Current production.  In my system they lacked the body and three dimentionality of tubes, it's just that simple.
