Should I buy a Class A Amp.

George, thank you.
Would you some people mind writing in normal English?

bpoletti,

No need for sarcasm...We’re all friends here. If you do not understand the post please read it in its entirety again.

I apologize if I’ve confused you. It reads:
"assuming" (again assuming), the electrical circuit in the wall can support these extraordinary power levels, a "continuous" 2ohm test of the no.336 at maximum power would require 50 amperes at 120v."

That is why Levinson chose to design the the 300 series amplifiers "VOLTAGE GAIN STAGES" into Class A and not in the traditional "HIGH CURRENT OUTPUT" fashion.

Additionally, my data is largly derived directly from Mark Levinson documentation.

Best regards
N

Sorry inna, that was more for the techs here, who want to know why I’m in favour of well designed Class A amps

BTW: I noticed my link to the Mark Levinson ML2  25w Class A mono block beasts didn’t take here it is.

Not sure where you're getting the 1400watt output number.  ML's specs indicate 2 ohm output to 500wpc. 

Please post the source for the specs you claim. 

bpoletti,

I'm getting my specs from my manual. My system with the no. 334 is 125w 8ohm, 250w 4ohm, 500w 2ohm.
The no. 336 referenced in the post is rated 1400w 2ohm.
