But if you're not listening to them at the levels you normally use them at, what does it matter? (Although if the levels you're discussing are the same as what you're normally listen to then this point is not germane). There are a fair number of amplifers out there that are class A into low volumes but Class B at higher volumes. If you never listen at the higher volumes, it just doesn't matter that they are in Class B when twice the power you're using is required...
One of the biggest differences I noticed when I moved from mid-fi to hi-fi components is that my listening levels dropped sharply (20 dB or more) because the music being produced was better defined and I could hear the details at a lower level.
