Will someone explain the difference between a Class A and a Class AB
amplifier? I just bought a Yamaha integrated amp that allows me to
switch operation between A and AB. The only difference that I am sure
of is the greater heat output when it's in "Class A mode"; my ears
aren't so sure.  

Thanks from an audio_novice,
