In the last few years, new instruments mounted at modern large telescopes, as well as satellite instruments, have given to us the possibility of obtaining observations of much higher quality than in the past. Yet, the large majority of observations of A-type stars are performed with small to middle size class telescopes. In this paper I discuss the scientific case for the use of large size class telescopes for the A-star research.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
