Luxman 590AXII. Replaced a tube preamp/cllass AB amp setup. Dissipates 400w continuous, which is welcome this time of the year, as I get up about 4 hours before my wife, and the house heater doesn't go on until she's up. Room is nice and cozy. Summers are mitigated by an efficient ceiling fan.
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.
