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.

I made a conscious decision to buy a Pass INT-25 a couple of years ago.  25 watts class A.  Sounds good.  I like it.  I'll keep it.  LED bulbs throughout my home however.  

Re: energy consumption

Bitcoin mining uses as much energy as the country of Argentina.

And that’s just Bitcoin. Adding up all the other crypto-currencies results in massive energy consumption. Does running a Class A amp matter in comparison?

@bulldogger    Thank you for telling me.  But the day is over.  Krell had stopped building pure Class A even before the D'Agostinos were so rudely kicked out of their own company.
