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.

Read some of Nelson Pass's articles on his website. He's a big fan of MOSFETs running in class A mode and I'm a big fan of his ss designs. Is this some kind of trickle down admiration thing? :-).

FWIW, I'm a tube amp lover, especially single ended ones.
