The curious thing about the SS amp is that it starts at about 63W, then seems to settle down after a minute or two at 25W.

Volume at either of the amps wasn't high - from zero up to need-to-raise-your-voice - but consumption stayed about the same.

Power supply reservoir capacitors charging up.

No, that takes less than a second. The effect noted is output stage
bias change as the amplifier warms up.

OK. I stand corrected. :-)
