The first watts

Okay, let's see if I can ask this question correctly. If you have an class A/B amp and the first 10 Watts is class A and after that it's all class B what happens if you have an inefficient speaker, do the first 10 W get used up real quick so that you're almost never hearing class A amplification, or does it work differently than that?

Unless you listen at very loud levels, say 85dB or higher, your amp will operate in class A most of the time.

It's partially right. The other part totally depends on speaker. The current demand can be even at lower volume levels especially at crossover points and lower frequencies.
