does my Class A amplifier consume 300 watts at the outlet no matter what the volume, but Con Edison in New York is raising their electric rates by %22 soon.

It's a little late now, but why would you choose a class A amp over a class B or AB push-pull amp? Input to the finals approaches zero in class B with no input signal. Back in the day, when I had more of a clue about these things, I found the B or more usually the AB (just slightly biased for plate/collector current) to be inherently more linear, with fewer harmonic products (as seen on a scope in both the time and frequency domains).

Are there advantages to class A as heard by the discerning ear?
