How much power would a class A 65W amplifier use? >200W which is enough to fry an egg on.

I don't know why people use class-A audio amps. They waste a very high amount of power by getting hot especially when they are not playing.
Some "odd" people add a class-A load to the output of an OPA034 opamp to "reduce" its 0.00008% distortion. They are crazy since 0.05% or less distortion cannot be heard and speakers have much more distortion.

I hated audiofools. I remember someone on another forum thinking his old crackly vinyl record player sounds better than a modern CD player which I can just about take but he refuses to accept a FLAC codec with a ridiculous 24-bit 192kHz sample rate is better.
