Say a given Class A amp draws 300W of power from the wall socket.
It will always draw 300W if idling or close to clipping.
When idling all of those 300W get turned into heat, when it is playing some watts go to the speaker and the rest gets turned into heat.
Hope you get the idea because I can't really dumb it down any further but none of the statements violate each other. Kinda obvious if you think about it.
