heh -- my daily driver is capable of about 3 watts per channel at anything like nominally reasonable levels of HD :-)
... but, otherwise, yes I agree - the CA-800/1000 and CA-1010/2010 are very nice in Class A.
That said, I don't think they're at all BAD in class AB (to my ears)... and I don't think the preamp's all that bad, either.
THAT said, I've yet to find an active preamp that I actually, "actively" like.
YMMV, of course ;-)
all the best,
mrh
