I think the Accuphase is no different than Luxman in that the published A class specs are misleading since they do have tons of overhead reserve and it indeed goes from class A to A/B until it clips or goes into thermal shut down. The Luxman for example is rated at 30w/60w true Class A into 8/4 but in reality puts out 140w into 4 ohms.
