Thanks for the note Pete.
I'm hoping that this ML amp will be my "Reference", therefore, if I want to experiment with class D or tubes or whatever in the future I'll be able to evaluate based on that. For now at least (and maybe I'm wrong) I consider Class D as the "imitator" trying to do what the big amps do with less size, less energy and less cost. Of course solid state is still trying to do what tubes do (to some extent). And I guess tubes are trying to do what solid state does (mainly in the low end). So I guess there's always a trade off.
Pass is another that I was really interested in, but more so their newer stuff, which of course is still pretty pricey.
