Class of operation for Tube Power Amps


My understanding is tube amplifiers can be ran in Class A or Class A/B operation just like Solid State amps. MANY tube amps do not say what class they are running. If they don't say this in the specifications do you just assume the are Class A/B. How can you tell?

@westcoastaudiophile It's not simple if you are looking to buy an amp and don't have access to it.

@gkelly Thanks for the reply. I was looking at 3 different tube amps and none of them address the class of operation in the description or specifications. I do know almost all solid state amplifiers do address this.
