How long does Class A have?

Hi Guys/Gals
 I have a Sugden A21SE which is a Pure Class A single ended design, I absolutely love this musical amplifier with its strangely plentiful 30wpc, it runs hots as they do, I always enjoy watching the faces of my uninitiated friends when they touch it after I mention they get hot, lol.
But in this modern green era I wonder just how long do Class A amplifiers have before Greta Thunberg gets wind of this inefficient method of creating sound and pisses on the parade?

Thoughts?

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.

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.


Wrong,  your amp draws half the current and twice the voltage as 115 volts and produces the same wattage.

Yeh, Greta and her type want you and your type to be around in 100 years. Can't imagine what her motives are.
