How long does Class A have?

As my amps run on 230v I guess they draw 1/2 the current and 1/2 the power?

No, your amp draws the same amount of current at either voltage, all other things being equal.

When I got into Art Center in 1988 to be a car designer, an instructor said to be our class 'I do not want to see manual transmissions in your designs...they will not exist in the year 2000'.

Yet after graduating, every vehicle I bought, I tried to order a manual. Sometimes there wasn't an option. I love manuals and I drive in LA traffic.

Things in the US are market driven. Class A will always exist in some way. You'll always see a Model A Ford driving to a car show...even if it's an EV show. 

I agree that it's very low hanging fruit. We are a drop in the bucket. Other things need to change. And change like this is gradual.

Shhhh!

Big Brother may be monitoring this thread!

Most government employees aren’t very good at anything technical or involving math, so if we don’t tell them about Class A, they certainly won’t figure it out on their own.

I am a bad  person.

I have three Class A amps that collectively weigh over 300 lbs. and only put out 135 watts total. And I have a straight 6 powered auto that sounds sooo good at 8,000 rpm that I can't resist hearing it frequently.

OTOH, unlike many less fortunate, I live in an area where the electricity comes from hydro power instead of burning dead dinosaurs and plants so the environmental effects ate much less.  It is the coal burners that should be buying bicycles and installing water wheels in their local streams! 

Why don't manufacturers list the amount of amps (current) their amplifiers and receivers put out. It is nothing to do with watts. It all has to do about current.

I think they hide this number because they know their amplifiers do not produce much current.

Wonder why this group doesn't talk about this?

Larry, I think you would get more of a response if you started a new topic about this.  I, for one, would be interested in learning about current in amps.
