RE: Class A - how to tell?

"A Class A amp will draw substantially more power (plate dissipation) than its rated max output without a signal present." is also true for Class B amplifiers. A class A amp will have a MAX effiency of 50%. A class B amp will have a MAX efficiency of 78.5%. So by definition both Class A and Class B amplifiers will "will draw substantially more power than its rated max output without a signal present."
