Zero feedback and class A,which is better?

hi I am in the market for a integrated amp I have a pair of Martin Logan Aerius speakers(non biwire type)What is more important to quality sound,class A amps or zerofeedback amps?Is there any amps out there that do both? I know that Simaudio is zero feedback and class A for the first 5 watts which just confuses me cause I don't think with logans i will ever use such a small amount of power,How do tube amps figure in this equation? cayin has a ss amp that is pure Class A, so far I am leaning to buy this Cayin 265ai amp,any advise thanks,Nick

Which is better?

Neither. Comparing apples and oranges. Some may go as far to say that a zero-feedback Class A would be the ideal amp.

(Actually, the further a "zero-feedback" amp is biased into Class A, the better it will sound. To work well in a wide range of applications, amps of this nature are best when they have lots of output devices, drawing a ton of current. I live in Texas, so we changed over to making switching amps. Got tired of turning off the system 4 months of the year.)
