Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?

I might be off here, but class A amps don’t drive lower impedance speakers very well either. Most class A amps aren’t stable into 2 ohm loads. Krell being one Of the exceptions.

Sorry your off, one word for both, no.

Big Boulder and Gryphon are stable down to negative impedance. Oops, slight exaggeration, but I was close. Down to 1 ohm, I think.

Really depends on the speaker in my experience. Went with the class A few esoteric 30 watts in my smaller room during a demo of a speaker I desired.  Made a deal for the speakers and demo amp.  Despite my current speaker 8 ohm 92 dB sensitivity the combo is awful.  Still waiting for speakers to arrive

S’funny, one of the nicest class A amps I have heard is a positively antiquated JLH69. It can really sing with a pair of heritage Klipsch’s. There is something fundamentally ‘right’ about its sound that a lot of more modern amps fail to grasp.
AB can sound great too. All depends on the implementation.
