Indeed, since the low bias setting still provides class A operation up to 200 watts, you should hear little difference between the settings most of the time. For the absolute highest quality reproduction of dynamic material and the most critical listening, the amplifiers should be set to the high bias level for full class A operation.Nobody but you George has ever questioned that these operate in Class A - as indicated in the mfg’s statement above. However, your unsolicited challenge doesn’t really matter after all the positive reports/reviews of these amplifiers. Have you ever heard a pair? BTW, the Lamm M1.2 Reference amps (also Class A) I owned at the same time as my M300s had similar heat sinking to the ML amps in your picture and although the Lamms were quite good, my musical preference was for the Clayton’s, so I sold the Lamms.
Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts?
What are the best options in Pure Class A amps above at least 100 watts in 8 ohms? The ones I know of are:
1) Pass Labs XA100.5
2) Pass Labs XA100.8 (and above)
3) Accuphase A-200
4) Soulution 530
Any others? Im trying to keep it under $10K, which the first two options can be had for used.
