Class A multi-channel amp?

Why? Do you need to heat your house? Or maybe build up your biceps.

Seriously, putting even two Class A amps on a single chassis doesn't make sense.

While not multichannel amp, the small class A Monarchy Audio mono's fit the bill and could be had new or used at around the same price as you would find a large multichannel class A for. Heck, you can spread the extra heat around this way.

Not sure what your budget is but, Cal. Audio Labs model CL2500mca is 500 watts per channel X 5. It runs in "Class A" for the first 100watts with 400 watts of head room. It's a digital amp that does not run hot and requires less power from the wall than conventional Class A or Class A/B because it much more efficient.

Here is one for sale on A/gon for $3200

Also, here is a web site with reviews and spec's on amp

Happy Hunting, Dave

A digital amp is not class A at all - it is class D or higher. Gigantic difference in every way. The digital amps will not get hot, hence the 500W x 5.

You could always get 3 2-channel class A amps! That would do it. YOu probably won't find any in one box due to obvious thermal issues, and if you do, I wouldn't buy it! Arthur
