Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll

@erik_squires Yep had an old Bel Canto that was Ice Powered I think it sounded better than that NAD.

Cheers. 

I have a Sugden A21 Signature and yes, it gets warm but not super hot. It cools down rather quickly. I did my research before purchasing it and knew that class A amps get warm. I don't have any problems with that at all.

Well one thing for everyone  not to forget is  science.  If the science is right about global warming  the science  is also right about nuclear  winter. So thank the lord for the Ohio  class submarines  anytime the world is in danger the Ohio s are there for our safety with a push of a button the global warming is over.  

Living in northern Europe in a north facing room, Class A heat is not a problem - perfectly acceptable in the Summer and eminently usable as space heating in the Winter.

I'd prefer not to have the power consumption. But - regrettably in that regard - all of the amplifiers that meet my criteria for sound quality have been tubed or class A solid state.

Class A up North, class D down South. No brainer.
