What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs?


I've never had a class a amp but am considering one now. So what am I getting myself into?

Perhaps a good stereo in an office space, for break time, would revitalize the love of good music reproduction?

I have one, but it is only my office.  Actually I have an office cat and a Hi-Fi in my office.  Also a Barista coffee machine close at hand.
The Hi-Fi is single source - a Technics SL1210 turntable.  Other components are Ayon Pre, ATC power and Spendor D1 standmounts.  To be honest there is not great synergy but the sound is passable.  It sure looks cool though, and clients love the LPs dotting the office.  In order to up to cool factor I need to have some tubes showing.  The Ayon Pre is a tube based pre-amp but the tubes are all internal.  I want glowing bottles!
