In Reply to: I am surprised at you Abe, its called Class B... posted by morricab on August 6, 2007 at 11:16:23:
Class B can deliver more power with less constant draw on the power supply, requiring a much smaller power supply. I guess I'm just accustomed to thinking of high-end amps biased more into class A territory with the ability to "double down" as the impedance is halved.
While the Pass Labs does use a sizable thick faceplate and steel chassis, the Krell KAV-2250 that I mentioned uses a thin aluminum chassis all around. Yet the 250wpc Krell has a 2000-VA power transformer that accounts for most of the amp's total weight.
But you're right, I'm comparing an amp that can "double down" as the impedance drops to one that probably cannot (and as such does not have published specs for this capability).
