Mainly there are class A, B, and D... Theoretically you can combine all of them....it´s a question of effort, circuit and benefit. Klaus

But essentially they were quite similar: the supply voltage would be modulated with the audio waveform.

I can't seem to find a good article on the web about the hybrid power amplifiers. Can you point me to a good source that I can read? TIA.
