I wish people would learn what the terms "Class A", "Class AB"
and "Class B" mean.
These are terms for certain circuit topologies - i.e. modes
of amplifier operation - not a "grade" of quality.
One can have an amp that operates in Class A that is of poor
design and sounds it. One can also have a Class B amp that
is a well executed design - and shows it.
You can't say "Amplifier 'X' is 'rated' Class A, so it must
be better than Amplifier 'Y' which is 'rated" Class AB".
