power amp draw


Would a class-a design 25wpc amp draw more electricity than a class-a-b 100wpc amp? The Monarchy SM70-pro uses about 2.5 amps and the Classe CA-100 runs at about 100w idle. I am clueless. Which would use more electricity? Thanks

from a electrical stand point,,,the class a amps will draw about 3 times the current compared to class a/b,hence the heat given off.
