More expensive? Long warm-up times?

Class A apparently needs more robust power supply (at least per output) than A/B; this adds substantially to cost.

Class A will probably need to be powered-on longer before reaching optimal sound quality than A/B or (of course) Class D. My Pass Labs X150.5 need 30+ minutes to nearly reach its best sound -- and its Class A only to 10 watts. (Some might say leave the Pass 'On' 24/7 but, No, because it idles at 200 watts which is just too much.)
