Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio?

I've been really considering getting into a Class D amp and was going to go with a homebrew Hypex build, but I ran across a post here talking about the amps from Class D Audio.

Made here in the USA and claim to sound good. Anyone have an opinion based on actual use?

Hi Tonyangel

I had a Class D Audio SDS-224 amp that was professionally built from a kit and it powered a pair of Ohm Walsh 2 speakers in a medium sized room. Sound wise the music could get loud and pretty clear. I did notice when the volume was turned down there was a little bit of buzzing or static that came from the Walsh 2s that wasn't there when I had powered them with different amps. Build quality wise the SDS-224 was very solid and pretty sturdy for what it was.

What speakers are you thinking about using the Class D Audio amps with?

I'm running a pair of Silverline Minuet Supreme Pluses.

It was my intention to put something together using Hypex modules, but then ran across the stuff from Class D Audio and it seems that what little there is about them on the net has been good.

The model I'm considering is the SDS-254. What I'm afraid of is that it's just going to sound dead. Everything being right with no soul.

What was your impression of the sound quality, other than it being loud and clear?

Hypex N-Core is the leading edge in class D, apparently.
