Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
https://youtu.be/abdmZbQPQtYThis guy has a very good channel, in one of the videos he talks about amp design and how many watts we really need, just bare in mind he is talking about European midsize room not US cathedrals 😜I must say I totally agr...
