In Reply to: RE: Class B amplifier sounds good?!? posted by KanedaK on August 24, 2014 at 07:04:21
I recall an article years ago in Hi Fi News where the author argued that properly done class B was better than class A/B. Sorry I can't recall any details but I do recall it didn't appear to make foolish arguments for why.
I also recall the Audionics BA150 amp, a mostly tube amp with a solid state driver stage, designed by David Berning. David was very concerned wit efficiency in amp design. And he made the amp as close to class B as possible. And it was a hell of a good amp. One good example does not make an argument but it sure puts teeth in it.
Follow Ups:
It used 6LF6 transmitter tubes for the output
I have two Berning ZH270 power amps and they also operate at almost class B. He can do this because hedoes not have big output transformers in his amps. No crossover hysteresis problems

But there were normal transformers in the BA150. It has more to do with good design. And David Berning is a superb designer who understands what he's doing.
I agree. Wish I had the money for his new 211/845 monoblocks. $75,000 Really
