Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll

A discussion elsewhere about the future of Class A made me wonder how true one statement really is. So the questions are...

Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?

Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?

Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?

I only have a class A/B unit that does Class A up to 6 watts with almost no heat so really can't speak for those who have used in the past or currently own and run Class A Amps.

NO! That would be stupid! Heat is inherent in the design/class A....and people should have known that prior to buying. Also, huge exaggerations about how much heat is produced. Will you stop using your oven? Jeez....lastly....If I AM paying MY electric bill, who the he** cares what amp I’m running? Aye yi yi...
