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.

I have a Pass Labs class A amp and yes it does get warm but never felt any heat issues from the amp. I live in the northwest where summers can get hot here and we don’t have AC. Still not a problem. I went from a class A/B tube amp to this amp and am very pleased with the upgrade.

So even an audio forum can’t get away from political comments.
