Hi again, djsallad,
Good question and VERY open to opinions, biases, etc. You know what opinions are like, and I have one. ha ha
First, let me say it may well depend on which Class D amp you are talking about. I know they must not all be made the same.
I hope you can hear the one you are interested in with your Tritons before buying.
Second, let me say that living on a pension in Thailand, I like the savings in elect. that Class D brings, AND mostly the low temps, they run cooler.
BUT I am not sure there is that much difference in the sounds of solid state amps, at least high quality, audiophile ones. I have been using a Bel Canto eVo 6 amp, bridged and unbridged for a long time. Bel Canto left tube amps behind and moved forward with Class D a long time before other companies did, they have been followed by LOTS since. I feel their amps are VERY competent, but better than tube amps? What were they smokin?????
I still run my surround sound Triton 3s with them, bridged into a whole bunch of watts. I have new, and supposed to be improved Class D amps from IQ M300 mono block amps, they are just OK. I use them to run my Triton 7s for rear surrounds.
Am I giving you my bias? I run hybrid tube/SS Vincent ST-P800 mono block for my Primary Triton 2s and in my other listening area, a 45 wpc KT 88 tube amp on the Triton 7s.
No, sorry, Class D is just alright with me, nothing special.
But you mileage may vary,
Enjoy the tunes, God Bless,
Wayne
God bless the child that's got his own.

The Rogue Audio Sphinx Tube Hybrid integrated is making a big splash on this site.

Wyred 4 Sound mINT looks promising...

Class CA-D200 (200 wpc) class D Amp--$4000.00

Red Dragon Audio makes 2 great class D amps--MT1000 MKll & M500 MKll
D-Sonic m3a-600m Mono > McIntosh MC152 > Primaluna ProLogue Premium Preamp > Oppo UDP205 > Decware ZLC > Triton Reference > Isoacoustics Gaia 2 > Canare 4S11 Speaker Cables > Audience Forte 3, Anticable L3 & Shunyata Venom PC's

Every great performance deserves an Audience!
