Does anyone think the type of amp used for flanking subs matters? I.e class d or ab.
I've just brought a class d amp to power mine and wondered if audiophiles would secretly scoff.
Does it make any real world difference sonically?

Any good quality amp is suitable for subs. Just be careful of clipping, as subs are particularly sensitive to high-frequency content. Their cooling systems require cone excursion to work.

In the past few years, I have read a lot about audiophiles who switch from tube amp to class d for their mains.
Most claim that the bass sounds tighter, or has more "grip",
while the midrange and high end suffer.
I noticed a similar effect (looser bass but better mids and highs) when switching from a transistor amp to a S.E.T. amp.
