It's like with vine, everyone likes something else.
Seriously, they all sound very good. In general, classA has a tendency to have softer top, with heights less pronounced, while classAB is slightly sharper, maybe more sparkly on top, which some may preffer for rock music.
I do not use classA for woofers, all my systems are biamplified.
It's hard to run classA in summer all the time, there is danger of overheating something, so i ofter swap just a lm3886 amp there, and i am always surprised how good it sounds.
I am working on m2 now, plus few more aca, and goldmund clone...plenty fun to come.

I too tend to switch out for something cooler in the heat of summer. I run tubes (usually SE/class A) in the cooler seasons, then often switch to solid state/class D or class T in summer. We don't have air conditioning and with 90F + outside, I just don't want to run anything that warms up...at all. But I like to have Class A when I can.
