RE: Class A to B switching nonsense

Where did I say there was a klunk?

And Nelson makes some of the best solid state amplifiers around that are also fairly affordable but I believe the entry level integrated is still $6,000+ (the distortion is referred to as notch distortion in B/AB designs). I have been exploring the notion of buying a Pass Labs amp and bringin in one for review but I need to get some things sorted out first (like a preamp).

Most people who buy the big dedicated power amps own low efficiency speakers - and you always hear them bemoan the fact that they need more power cause their sound is unclear and often muddy.

Looking at the link you provided we may actually have an inkling for WHY that is the case. Very likely not the overall higher watts of the amps but the higher availability of class A watts. As it goes from 16 watts to 118 in their first listed series of amps.

And many audiophiles much prefer his First Watt amps - which is a different animal.
