Hello. I have a pair of 805 Diamond from 2012. I am looking for a middle price (600 to 1000 USD) class D to drive them. No need for a lot of power as I will use them in my "remote" office. Are the new Chinese cheap Class D a good choice or should I spend a bit more for more reliability and a better sound ? Imput will be Eversolo A6. Thank you.

In your position, rather than thinking I had to spend within a specific price band, I'd buy a couple of Fosi V3 Monoblocks (with separate 48 volt power supplies) and see what I thought.
Feed the Fosi's from your A6 balanced XLR outputs.

Apparently those speakers only perform at their best at reasonable volume levels so rather than outright power you need amps with decent current delivery.
Cheap Chinese devices are Ok until they go wrong.......,
Then, if you have to ship them anywhere for repair they aren't cheap.
