Whats the difference between MOSFET & Class A, AB

I was wondering what the general difference was in MOSFET amps as compared to Class A or Class AB amps.

For the last few years I have been running a Classe CA 300 amp. A couple weeks ago I had a fuse blow on the Classe and it also burnt out a resistor. Knowing the Classe was going to be in the shop I bought a old CJ Motif MS-100 amp.

Now after a day or two of listening I'm thinking this old Motif betters atleast too my ears the Classe so it got me wondering.

Ok guys just my opinion, there is no a clear winner and neither a general rule but only personal preferences.
If you only want be beguiled, maybe there is no alternative to tube and single ended amplifiers in particular.
Personally I think the best thing to do is to have at least two audio systems in which experiments tubes and solid states (among which mosfets) and enjoy the music in function of your daily mood.
