Class A amplifiers


I was watching YouTube reviews on Hifi and one guy said if you like Class A amps you have to accept that every 3 or 4 years you have to send them in to get serviced Becasue the heat inevitably causes issues? Is this true? I have a friend with an older Maek Levinson Class A amp and he was looking to sell,it to me, and am just wondering if Class A amps are like a boat, always costing you more . Anyone?

I have a Spectral DMA 200 that sounds wonderful driving a pair of Magnepan 1.6's. I have tinnitus so I can't hear the cooling fan. And yes, it helps keep the room warm in winter. Not bad for a 34 year old amplifier!
