erik,
I'm not a fan of class a amps, that's why I question the extended class a of the Stratos. I'm sure it sounds great but I'd like to know how it's implemented.
In the case of each amp suggested above I've scanned google images and articles to get a handle the structure and construction along with the reviews and attributes.
One of the downsides (for me) of a lot of these amps is the lack of available schematics and service manuals. I like to see how the basic electronic foundation is laid out and know I could repair it myself if necessary.
Along the same lines, the upside is that most of the discrete components they contain are still available.
