Default Experiences of Class A solid-state ?

We all have. Pretty much every amplifier operates class A to
a few tens of milliwatts. Plenty loud enough for quiet listening.
Some high bias class AB designs operate to a couple of watts
in class A.


The Parasound A21, for example, is class A up to 8 watts (not Watts) per
channel into an 8-ohm load. That's fairly loud, unless you have rather
insensitive speakers.
