Class A amplifier alternative?

Hi everyone, 

I am looking for an amp with about 200-300 watt/8ohm/channel for my speakers. People say that Class A is the best to have. However, with this power, Class A amp would be super heavy (for me) The amp at this power is usually 100 lbs or higher. I wonder if there is any other solution here that doesn't compromise the sound quality? My budget is $3000 (used items). 

 

Just FYI, I once tried class D but the sound is very clinical, thin and sterile in my system. 

 

Thank you!

Huy

Well I suppose if your looking for a full time heater Class A is the way to go..

 

How about a Parasound do a little research pick one of their modles and be happy.

It's a Class AB I'm sure, a reasonably priced product that sound really good 3K shouldn't be a problem..

 

The right class D makes the difference.. The question is the cost.. I used Nord One Ups.. I'm quit happy for the the 4 month a year I run them..(Summer)

 

Regards
