I have been using tube gear for several years now and will never give them up. However, I recently borrowed a FirstWatt F6 from a friend. After I listened to it for a few hours I made an offer and now it is mine. I just ordered a pair of Tekton Double Image speakers to pair with it. The purity and accuracy of its sound won me over. Now I have an outstanding set of tube gear and what I perceive to be an equally amazing Class A amp. I will keep it, heat and inefficiency be damned.
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
A discussion elsewhere about the future of Class A made me wonder how true one statement really is. So the questions are...
Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
I only have a class A/B unit that does Class A up to 6 watts with almost no heat so really can't speak for those who have used in the past or currently own and run Class A Amps.

@retrocrownfan Your ps200 amps are not Class A, they run squarely in class AB or B. |
