Actually difference between class A and AB?

Class A amp sounds like holy grail of HIFI world.
But class A amp are much heavier, more expensive and rarer than class AB or class B design. Few can afford 100 LB weight of a 2-channel 100w/c amp.

Is there any actual difference between class A and class AB when listening to actual music? And what is that difference?

everyone is talking about design difference. No one is talking about difference when listening. Can you hear the difference!???

no one ever talks about differences during actual use, because, there are none. As is the case with most 'issues' on this forum. But, since no one has mentioned hemorrhaging ears yet to support their argument, things are improving.

I have no problem with your post. I thought I was in support. In particular your question as to why everything is addressed as if we were in a lab doing tests and not actually listening to music.
