Sdcampbell when's the last time you checked Stereophile's recommended components list? The Bryston is class A on their list but maybe not yours? It is the first 5 channel amp to be so listed.
Bulldogger: I think we may have confusion over terminology. I interpreted Mizendo's reference to "Class A" to mean an amp that runs in Class A electrical mode (i.e., no switching and circuits are "on" all the time). If you use the term "Class A" to mean the rating system used by Stereopiles, you are correct in your comment.
You are right. There are 2 ways of looking at this. The Bryston is not completely class A as far as power output. Sorry, I assumed he was refering to catergory rating and not power as there are so few class A amps in that respect.
