I finally got my hands on a copy of the Hi-Fi World 2007 Awards issue (Jan 08), and DaveX was right...D•100 was voted "Amplifier of the Year". 

They stated...
"Here's one of the few amplifiers of this type we've heard that can be listened to at any volume level, low or high, yet consistently offers up the same natural, organic sound."

"Sounding free, unfettered and really not like any type of amplifier at all, the D•100's are in a class of their own."

Dusty,

Congratulations on the award.  Wish you many more in the future!

Just curious, why did they test the D-100 and not the D-200?  Price limitations?
It's my understanding the D-200 is the newer model with some improvements over the older D-100.

Both are current models and use the same amplifier circuit. D-100 is 100w @ 8 ohms, D-200 is 200w @ 8 ohms.

Thanks Dusty, I thought there were some improvements in the D-200 power supply circuitry.

The D-200 requires a more sophisticated power supply to achieve the higher power output.
