All things being equal, a Class A amp will have less power and less harmonic distortion (at the power levels that it can produce) vs. a Class AB amp.
If your speakers are efficient enough so that the lack of power does not cause any problems for you then you should hear a cleaner, more "you are there" type of sound. But there are a lot of variables and things are never equal.
