I don't quite understand these technical descriptions between the Class A and AB versions of Accuphase amplifiers.
What I have been playing with are the E380 (directly to a pair of Amati Traditions) and using the E380 as a preamp to the A48 (again to the Amatis). Source is a dCS Bartok. Wireworld Silver 7 cabling.
I definitely prefer the E380 driving the Amatis. There's just better control to me especially of the Amati's bass drivers.
Also, the A48s benefit greatly from using the E380 as a preamp. I had the dCS directly into the A48 and it sounded drier and more lifeless. The E380 (as a preamp to the A48) just gave it such a breath of energy and realism
