Re: Why does less output mirror better sound?

Most solid state amps are biased with enough current that the first watt or two is pure class A. Some like Parasound can put out 10-15w of class A before switching over to AB. Class A of tube or solid state is the most pure sound the amp will run in. If a SS amp sounds better at 10w output its just because its plain louder, because it is not in class A at higher outputs.
