Could it be said that Class A amps, like Pass for example, play better on certain types of music? Better classical than rock, for instance?
No. Class A circuits simply have less distortion due primarily to the fact that there is zero cross-over distortion that is found in A/B amplifiers. A less distorted signal should sound better for all music types, unless you prefer that sort of thing - which many do in the tube world.
There is no right answer, but from a physics/electical engineering standpoint a Class-A amplifier is a "better" design when it comes to distortion.
