they only work well with Class D i hear
Nope, that's the very point. They are semi-active with a class D sub.
In case of the Duo XD it has a 1000W class D sub, which hands over at 270 Hz. The rest works perfectly fine with a 3W SET.
I am sceptical because I do not like class D and I do not like subs. Nevertheless, Today I agreed an auditioning.
The AG sounds terrific with my Pass amp as well. However, you're typically not going to see a lot of SS with AG - outside of the AG amps or perhaps Pass or a few others. What the AG's are, is a great testing ground for what an amp REALLY sounds like. The biggest surprise was how good the VAC 200iQ's - especially with the KT150's were on the AG's. INCREDIBLE! YUUUUGE soundstage. Amazing mids. So good, that I'm thinking about a 211/845 SET. The added power (my amps have 8 watts), was a significant improvement in dynamics and "ease".

+1. I have found high efficiency speakers in general to really be much better at this. I'm a bit worried that moving down to a 92db speaker is even going to make this difficult- they arrive this week
re: AG, I'm looking forward to hearing the Uno XD in a few weeks at Newport - last year I thought the Duos overloaded the room, but I hear someone jacked with placement/settings and screwed things up. One amp I'd love to hear on AGs is the latest version of the Jadis JA30.

I was looking at the JA30 this morning. With XD - they will never overload the room.
