CLASS A AMPLIFIERS

What are the sonic benefits of pure class A amps? Are they more "powerful"?

They must be HUGE (even with a switching PS)... We're talking about a +500 VA PS per channel for class A... Now that's a nice monster! BTW, if they claim 125/channel class A, they must be able to back it up; so, you probably DO have 125W one way or another (but it does sound like overkill as you note...)

Just the PS is well over the expected 4x the energy output rating fro class A.
