Clayton Audio Class A

Just curious: are there many amplifiers out there that use a balanced bridged class A design like Clayton Audio?
For both the M300’s and the single box version S2000, Wilson uses two class A 75 watt amplifiers in bridged design per channel. Just haven’t seen that topology spoken of much. They do sound quite good. Would love to learn more about this topology. I know it allows larger class A wattage outputs but still surprised that bridged designs double down. (300 into 8/600 into 4). Thanks for your thoughts about balanced bridged class A topology.

     I've got one of those class A Accuphase amps. 
     Had to install 2 bridged coal furnaces in the basement to generate enough electricity to run it then 2 more bridged out by the pool to run the ac to cool down my room.
     I can't tell when it's sunny out anymore and I think the wife and kids all might have lung cancer. 
     It's pretty cool how it glows that bright orangish-red and pulsates like a lava pool to let me know it's all warmed up and ready for some tunes.
     But it sounds terrific! So, definitely worth it.  Oh yeah, worth it, worth it, no doubt about it.
