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

Has anyone heard the AD-1 amp from tonewinner?

I believe the chinese manufacturer was the OEM for emotiva.

I have a  7 channel from tonewinner for my home theater which is working out great.

If specs are accurate could be a good option as you can switch between class A and AB.
