An open-circuit, class D amplifier output has extremely sharp
edges due to the switching of the bridge. The expectation is that,
somehow, the output is averaged over at least one cycle of the switching
period to form a continuous, analog voltage.

If this output is connected to a speaker with a mechanical lowpass
characteristic, then the speaker's mass will effectively average
the "digital" output into a continous position.

Thus my question is, when connecting a class D output to a speaker,
why do we need filtering at all? That is, why wouldn't the mechanical
lowpass filtering of the speaker be sufficient?

I was reading about the NXP mono amp on a FTM flyer. Suppose the
output frequencies
mixed and caused byproducts ?? They would need some delays.
