I cannot totally Agree, I have been running pure class A Pass Labs
And most certainly better then the majority of Class An amps
Even my brothers Pass 250.8 is far superior yhen most evrn st low volumes
We compared a bunch of Audiophile friends gear over 6 months.
The average AB amp could not compete in resolution .
One big reason is the very High bias in class A for almost the first 20 watts
Which is a lot with a 90db dpeaker.. The Valvet mono blocks are around 100 wpc
Into 4 ohms pure class A and incredibly detailed at Low volume .
Vitus, is another HIGH POWER great sounding amp even met low late night
Low level, as well as Gryphon Diablo ?this and the Vitus,integrated are the 2 best
Integrated amps I have ever heard at all levels and passed the acid test .
I owned a Aufio store until 06 in Europe the new models are even Better.
If you are willing to spend these are exceptions to the rule.
