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

Well one thing for everyone  not to forget is  science.  If the science is right about global warming  the science  is also right about nuclear  winter. So thank the lord for the Ohio  class submarines  anytime the world is in danger the Ohio s are there for our safety with a push of a button the global warming is over.  

Living in northern Europe in a north facing room, Class A heat is not a problem - perfectly acceptable in the Summer and eminently usable as space heating in the Winter.

I'd prefer not to have the power consumption. But - regrettably in that regard - all of the amplifiers that meet my criteria for sound quality have been tubed or class A solid state.

Class A up North, class D down South. No brainer.

I was looking at a Luxman L-590 and probably should have bought it. I keep hearing scuttlebutt that they are moving to class A/B only. Maybe I’ll start looking at a L550 AXll.

I have class A mono’s and never give the heat output a second or even a first thought. It is what it is and who cares. It is nice for everyone to have option to buy what they like.
