Difference between Class a and a/b

Hi,

I have been reading alot about class a and class a/b biased amps, but I am not really clear on what the difference is. I understand that it has to do with circuit providing power through the entire cycle. But I was hoping that someone may be able to explain it in simpler terms.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

simple terms.

Class A - sounds much refine, good in resolution, focus on high and mid. Bass quality tends to develop vertically (deep deep deep)

Class A/B - sounds less bright (relatively), much bass and tends to develop horizontally. Punchy or boomy bass for extreme case.
