CLASS A AMPLIFIERS

The total output is given as 400 watts into 8 ohms and 1000 watts into 2 ohm, I guess that why the full name is Aragon Palladium 1K. They can't really be running that high in class A they just aren't that big and never run really hot just warm. Look at Avalon's (an agon dealer) listing for the claim. They do have enormous power though, huge headroom, never clip to my ears. I use 936 JM/ Focal Electras with them. They have double 7 or 8 inch woofers and they probably drop their resistance to 4-6 ohm at times. I am suspicious, believe me, but I like them anyway.

I am still at a loss for comprehending the general sentiment expressed in this thread that class A amps are only beneficial due to lower distortion. Heat dissipation and the efficiency of their use of power are well known, but they are also given credit for having a typically fuller sound and are known for their ability to control bass well.
I own very high biased (reportedly) class A amps but can't run them as pure class A. If and when they would switch to A/B is mysterious to me. I don't hear any noticible change in the sound. It is entirely possible they never reach that point, in fact they shouldn't because they supposedly run up to 125 watts class A which would blow my head off except for perhaps dynamic bursts.
Does anyone know if the claim that Aragon Palladiums are really class A in the first place. They don't distort much if at all, but they don't run really hot, temperature wise, either. Any one who knows something about these amps and can tell me something other than the canned corporate stuff would be appreciated. Sorry if that is a thread jack.
Also why all the advertising about class A capabilities if it doesn't matter?

I hate answering my own questions but after several attempts to get Klipsch to answer with regards to my Palladium 1Ks running 125 watts in class A (and threatening to call Mondial directly). I finally got a response. A completely unqualified yes its absolutely the truth. I still find it kind of hard to believe given the amps' weight (each monobloc is about 70 lbs) and temperature, but that was a major company going on record by e-mail that it is true. No mention that you need to be playing them into 8 ohms but I'll save that for another day. Thanks for your patience and to you other secret Palladium owners out there in audioland now you know.
