100w class A or 200 w class AB ????

I agree with part of what Clueless said. I disagree with the other part of what Clueless said. : ) Sean

Sean, for the record, you are making a habit of crashing threads.

Tabu, hell if I know, but with my Pass X150 running into AB after only 15 watts, I never could tell the difference. With my Scinnies, the X600 does that after 150 watts, and I still can't tell the difference.

I'd pick whichever is stable into a 1 ohm load. Wattages given are probably 8 ohms.

An unfair (pricewise) comparison is my Plinius SA100 MKIII power amp has 100 watts class A and my Plinius 8200 MKII integrated has 175 watts AB and the SA 100 MKII clearly has more OOMPHHH and control without breaking up. The 8200 might go a little louder but gets thinner and washed out in a typical way. This is when I was running Maggie 1.6s which like all the current you can throw their way.

Clueless- Please do not take this as a personal attack. However, Believe I have read that Class A amps provide a greater percieved scence of power. I could be mistaken, but my understanding is Class A amps provide power the entire cycle. Thus, they maintain better "control" over the speakers.

Happy Listening,
