Going Big class A?

[NorthStar]

Maybe it’s just me but his math given does not add up but that’s another story he seems to be mixing facts and fiction all
In peak current 7.4 amps then 4 amps bias per side
Peak is 1.414 of rms so 7.4 is 5.23 amps rms per side since bias is dc
So he seems to get more out of less. A magician like I said. Lol. Good by buys.

We're only discussing, you don't have to say bye, Al.

It’s by being nasty it’s by I am done posting on this thread. We will meet again.

No Al, I think Nelson is correct. This 7.4 amps is not related at all to RMS, but is a conservative version of 2x4 amp.

From : https://www.passlabs.com/press/leaving-class

"Push-pull amplifiers generally operate in Class A mode up to a point where the output current is twice the value of the bias current. "

Good link, thank you Francisco.

No, you cannot leave just like that, we are not done yet; your Mark Levinson model 33 amps are they Class A? ...Class H?

I am wronge in this I thought it was a stereo amp. I stand corrected

No not one watt is class A all class AB
Rated at 300 watts at 8 ohms
600 watts at 4 ohms
1200 watts at 2 ohms
And 2400 watts at 1 ohm continues lol

Very nice pair of monoblocks. And the measurements are very impressive, for everything, including power in any impedance load. You can drive any speakers in the world with these babies. And they are affordable too, but very heavy for people's backs.

* Very glad that you realized we were talking about mono amps here.
Little things like that can embark us on the biggest Cruise ship in the world.
Now we can sail normal on that four masts sailing ship. :b

A Nelson Pass's Class A stereo amplifier review, the Threshold T-200:
• https://www.stereophile.com/content/threshold-t-200-power-amplifier

It was relatively affordable back then and you could easily move it by yourself.

The T-200 reminds me of the advanced T-1000 fromTerminator: Judgement Day.

Don’t worry, because of the power regeneration they consume electricity like real class A amps.

I had a T200 for almost 15 years. I loved that AMP! Should anyone come across one, it would be a great amp
for a small amount of money at this point.
