RE: mkuller is correct *

If it can "leave Class A" to produce more power then it's not a Class A amplifier. It's just a Class A/B amplifier with higher idle currents (which is a good thing but still not true Class A).

Nelson is not ignorant, you just don't understand what Nelson wrote.

Right here Nelson is saying the same thing I'm saying.

"Higher bias doesn't just move the Class A transition to higher ground - it has a profound influence on the amplifier at all power levels. It lowers the distortion at low levels as well as high levels, as seen in the distortion vs power curves for an amplifier with the bias set at different levels."
