How much power does the KSA160 put out in ClassA?
It might be getting close.

But seriously, 200W of pushpull ClassA is some target you've set yourself.
Single ended would be even worse for heat dissipation.

The 100W of ClassA from the KSA100 dissipates about 270W per channel and probably runs at about 600 to 700W when ticking over.

A 200W amp will probably be double this. Yes, about 1400W of quiescent consumption and the same heating power pushed into the listening room.
