Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll


A discussion elsewhere about the future of Class A made me wonder how true one statement really is. So the questions are...

Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?

Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?

Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?

I only have a class A/B unit that does Class A up to 6 watts with almost no heat so really can't speak for those who have used in the past or currently own and run Class A Amps.

we have tested many class d amplifiers in our store hypex ncore and

gain and a few others none sounded as good as class a/b amplifiers

 

the first class d amplifier that really was exceptional and truly musical is the Avik amps they are built with novel noise reduction technology and their u180 integratedis shockingly good as both an amplifier and dac the amp is musical and engaging

 

so far the t+amplifiersclass a/b are still our favoritesthe avik in our second show room is becomming anew favorite for a more affordable integratedamp/dac combo
