Why are most High End Amps class A

Hello, new here and wondering.

I've recently been looking and reading at Audiogon and see that most "High End Amps" are class A. Currently I own a McIntosh C28 preamp and MC2105 amp. To me they sound fabulous.

Would a "High End" class A sound any better?

Of course I realize that there are very expensive class A's that would blow away my Mac's, but what about say a used class A in the $ 1000.00 to $2000.00 price range?

Thank you so much for your input!

When did audiophile's start to worry about the electric bill
There are some great A/B Amps but they are not great because they are less expensive to operate or that they cost less to obtain.
To think that way is to say a Honda is better then a Ferrari
because it gets better gas mileage.
I find Class A amps to sound better then the Class A/B or D that I have heard.
This hobby is about SOUND nothing more and nothing less.
