Would it be safe to say that class a operation is up to the output tubes max rating, which would be around 8 watts for EL84 tubes?
Thanks again,
Kasper
Good question. Mullard's manual says probably true for PP, maybe higher
at max tube plate dissipation. About 5 watts output in PP triode mode.
In single ended pentode mode, about 5 watts output. In triode mode,
about 2.5 watts out at max plate dissipation.
Hope this helps Kasper.

Yes, it does, thanks!
I ended up getting the prior model, the Leben CS-600 (no 'x'). It's stunning.
Glad it worked out well for you Kasper. It is possible to obtain near perfect, if not perfect reproduction quality from a PP AB1 amplifier using non inductive speakers. With cone/reactive type speakers, one can tailor for near perfect quality sound, although somewhat time consuming.
All the best.
