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.

Am currently running a Nakamichi PA-5.

Have been wanting two BEL 1001’s since I started four-plus years ago.

(Yes, I know there’s a controversy about whether they are true Class A.)

I’ve never thought of heat as a problem, just something to be managed, though I mistrust electronics you can fry an egg on.
