As the owner of a PA7 II can tell you it was rated at 225
Watts per channel into 8ohm vs 200 for the PA7. I don't believe they're class A but the do utilize the Stasis topology designed by Nelson Pass. This amp runs warm but not hot so if it's class A it's only at a small percentage of the rated power. That's all I know on the topic. BTW the PA7 II is rated at 325 into 4 ohms.
Walther,

I think it's a fine sounding amp. I had it modified by Musical Concepts. I'ts not bright but maybe a touch warm.
A good power cable (I use Synergistic Res Ref) makes a
positve improvement.
