Why do I like Class AB better than Class A?

I also almost always prefer AB to pure class A. I do love my my Reimyo PAT 777 but it was purchased specifically to drive the ribbon teeters in my self designed 3 way active speakers. Push pull simply sounds more focused, and real in most cases to my ears. Now I do remember loving a pair of Aleph 1.2' I had in my possession briefly about 17 years ago with a set of Miller modified Infinity RS1-b panels I used to own and that combination was STUNNING (on certain types of music). No saxophone and the Emit drivers were subject to resonances that destroyed the sound :(

That would depend on the amp, preamp and speakers.

I had the Plinius a few years ago and preferred listening in AB mode most of the time. For rock or more dynamic music AB overall sounded better and more accurate. I agree with the original poster it sounded bloated and a bit fuzzy. For softer sounding music like classical or Jazz I could see where Class A would be preferred.

I would trade it in for a Sugden.
