Which would you buy & why?


In the market for my end game,all in one(P/A-Amp/DAC/Headphone)control amp..1 manufacturer offers 2 choices that tick all my wants & needs:
Amp 1 is Class AB with 70wpc. & cost $3900.00 with everything I want..
Amp 2 is absolutely identical EXCEPT runs Pure Class A @ 25wpc.& cost $5600.00..I consider power output difference a moot point,I don't listen real loud & just never felt the need for lots of watts...
 So I am curious which amp you would choose & why if you were in my position?

What speakers are you running and what is their efficiency? 25wpc is enough power for speakers with a 93db or more efficient. The 70wpc is a safer bet and it will not have the heat problems that a class A amp might present.
FWIW I agree with you about low wattage amps even though I play my music somewhat loud. But it doesn't take that many watts IF your speakers are efficient.
