All the ones that I know that states class A or pure class A are the same: 100% class A operation. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.

The amplifiers that switch to class AB are clearly named: class AB, I never read that the manufacturer state class A when they really are class AB. Now if a manufacturer states class A when in reality is a class AB then he is " playing "/marketing with words and obviously is telling a lie. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.
