An unfair (pricewise) comparison is my Plinius SA100 MKIII power amp has 100 watts class A and my Plinius 8200 MKII integrated has 175 watts AB and the SA 100 MKII clearly has more OOMPHHH and control without breaking up. The 8200 might go a little louder but gets thinner and washed out in a typical way. This is when I was running Maggie 1.6s which like all the current you can throw their way.
I read Plinius likes class A because the load on the power supply does not fluctuate
