RE: Class A amp keeps shutting down

"Class A amps is that they dissipate more heat at idle than at full power."

"Class A amps dissipate a constant amount of power."

These statements are mutually exclusive. The first statement violates the definition of Class A the second statement is correct.

This statement violates the second statment:

"The louder they're played the more of that power they dissipate in the load (the speakers) and the less in themselves."
