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?

I do believe class A 's design & sonic advantage over Class B. BUT don’t understand  say: 30 W class A vs a 250W class A/B. Isn’t the class A/B has the advantage of both ? Example:Pass Int 250 DON'T leave class A till 15 W and has all the extra class A/B reserve up to 500 W into 4 ohms! Why would a 30 W class A be a better choice over the 250 W A/B??? If 99% of the time I am only playing music at about 2 Watt( under 90db)?
