I own the Ayon Spirit V PA, which is a Class A amplifier and it does NOT run hot. My Rogue Stereo Super Magnum 90 which is Class A/B ran WAY hotter that the Ayon. I think the Ayon is one amazing sounding amplifier!
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.
