Whats the difference between MOSFET & Class A, AB

I was wondering what the general difference was in MOSFET amps as compared to Class A or Class AB amps.

For the last few years I have been running a Classe CA 300 amp. A couple weeks ago I had a fuse blow on the Classe and it also burnt out a resistor. Knowing the Classe was going to be in the shop I bought a old CJ Motif MS-100 amp.

Now after a day or two of listening I'm thinking this old Motif betters atleast too my ears the Classe so it got me wondering.

Cheers Gary

I own both a Classe CA-300 and DR-10. The two amps sound a little different, but I would not say that one is distinctly better than the other to my ears. I wish one amp had the combined positive attributes of both. I just listen to one or the other depending on my mood, as said above. BTW Gary, The CA-300 employs MOSFETs as the driver transistors.
