Why do I like Class AB better than Class A?

So I just purchased a Plinius SA 100 MKIII, and have had 2 listening sessions comparing both with the toggle switch. To me clearly the AB is more detailed and focused, the A is warm but a little fuzzy and bloated, although I would give it a slight nod on just vocal songs. Am I just not use to the sound as this is my first A amp or have I not let it properly warm up for class A (1hour or so).
Don't get me wrong, i love the amp, great bottom end slam but I don't hear the holy grail from Class A. Thanks in advance for the input guys.

it is possible you prefer greater resolution in the ab mode that you feel is lacking in the a mode.

i would imagine that in class a, your amp is an electric bill.

the plinius was recommended to me to use with panel speakers.

i would like to hear what they do with electrostatic speakers, but have not heard them.
