You might find that you don't need that much power.

When I first built the ULF channels I assumed they would require loads of power, so I bought a single, mono, 1KW class D amp to use in testing. Then I tried driving them with a pair of M1.1s that I had planned to sell; even with 94dB sensitivity in a large room, the 2 x 100w turned out to have been easily more than necessary; I decided to continue using them.

…and the question is how to drive the lower bass section – with class A or with class A/B. The advantages of both classes are obvious but how the advantages of the class A would manifest itself for ONLY ULF section? The class A runs theatrical higher dynamic range then A/B, perhaps it would be worth to have wasting some power? I truly do not know.
