Sounds like that guy doesn't know his own amp line.....

If its 4x EL34s and 100 watts it isn't Class A!
Technically you can bias the tubes to run class A -But the problem is that the tubes would melt down in short order.
To make the amp survive running Class A you have to significantly lower the plate voltages and thus the power (in watts) of the amp is reduced.
Even if the amp was running Class A (say they some how had some crazy cooling thing going on to keep it running) it wouln't mean that it would sound "better" or much different for that matter.
Most so-called Class A amps are really cathoded biased and have no negative feed back in the power section.
Its all BS marketing folks...

The amp sounds very interesting. Give the guy a break, English is a second language for him!!! He probably screwed up some of the specs in translation. So quit whining and listen to the tone!

..."When you turn the knobs they actually do something"... Yeah, unlike other amps where they're just for looks. What a tool. I hate it when amp manufacturers try to differentiate themselves from everyone else by making stupid comments like this. It just makes them look foolish.

I know it sounds judgmental, but he said EL84's then 4 EL34's,,,,it's a hundred watts, so it has to be El34's. To the techs out there....I thought that Class A power section don't run that high? Enlighten me please.
