ATC active speakers use amps that are class A for the first 2/3rds of their output, anything from 180-250 watts depending on speaker model..
My amp is a 100W Class A (although I normally run it in its 20W class A - 120W AB mode). It's 55Kg (transformers and heatsinking) and does get quite warm when running in full Class A mode. Does do slam (if I knew what that was) to my ears though! Titian uses a 200W Class A Krell to drive his subs - and that is huge and hot. I also remember TonyL moaning about the electricity bills when he shared a house with the owner of a Krell 200W class A amp. I think the variable biassing thing is a recent development to produce a more environmentally acceptable solutionOriginally posted by greg
I thought even a 100W Class A amp would be massive and produce enormous amounts of heat. Have I missed something?
No need for central heating I can tell youOriginally posted by GrahamN
