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.

The car I drive around town is 100% electric, up-spec'd home solar system...so for me class A isn't a problem. Thank goodness because I presently have five different class A amps in residence.

do not get those batteries wet in your car

Its inadvisable to submerge any car, gas or electric.

 

I have a fried with solar in his home and he is still battling noisy power in his system when on battery power

Your friend obviously has site/product quality/design specific issues. My system isn't designed to take us off the grid in the event of nuclear war, ours is designed to supply the grid with a similar (in our case a little excess) amount of generated power that we consume. We spec'd our system to eventually supply three electric cars as well as potential max usage for a 4,000+ sq ft home.
