RE: Yes, seems to be so


The 'true Class A' amps that I have personally owned include the Krell KSA-50S, Pass Aleph 3, and Pass Aleph 30.

The KSA-50S had a stepped Class A system that Krell called Sustained Plateau Biasing. At high volume levels, it would draw 800-watts continuous, and when the volume level was reduced or signal removed, it would continue to draw 800-watts for a while until it stepped down to a lower demand level.

The Pass Aleph and Aleph 30 are 30wpc amps but they each drew over 200-watts just sitting there idle.
