Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
I’ve been thinking about downsizing from separates to an integrated amp. I’ve noticed that some companies have both class A and class A/B amps that are both pretty expensive such as Luxman for example. Hegel seems to be well received and they’re not true class A as far as I know.
I was kind of under the impression that class A was better than class A/B due to lower distortion yet again, there are some well reviewed class A/B amps that are as pricey as some class A amps.
To be clear, it’s really not the price I’m concerned about. It’s the fact that some integrated amps $5000 and up are still only Class AB.
How do these higher priced class AB amps sound in comparison to true class A amps?

@erik_squires Was your response AI-generated too? Ehem. I think in general if you’re relying on ChatGPT to make your arguments here your credibility sinks like a stone and likely for good reason. Might go over well on Reddit tho. |
My response was not AI generated. For reference I used my own knowledge, and refreshed it using items such as Tremaine's Audio Cyclopedia, Wikipedia, and ChatGPT because their all decent research tools. Other than referencing them (properly) to provide further backup, everything was written by me. As for me, I’m an old analog electronics engineer since the 70’s who’s designed 6-track sound-on-film equipment, record cutting equipment, amps, crossovers, speakers and theatrical and roadshow sound systems. I own a Pioneer M-22 class-A (which I can cook eggs on) and am presently rebuilding an HK Citation 11 pre. In addition to these around my house I use a Revox A-77, a rebuilt Accuphase E-202, a dBX 1231 1/3-octave EQ, a Cambridge Audio DACMagic 200M, an Anthem Statement, an Arcam CD37, a Nakamichi cassette deck, and a JVC-QLY55F turntable with AT and Shure carts, a Sony STR-V35, a Denon AVR, and an assortment of Sonos devices. I use REW for system setup. Hope this answers your question. |
