...A good designer can at will design a low cost console amp or a high quality monitor amp. And yes it probably would be bad practice for an audiophile diyer unless the diyer was called upon to design a low cost amp. Basic definitions like amplifier classes shouldn't be subject to the whims of a fringe hobby. Also the term "practice" as used here isn't the same as practice (repetition) of music.

Yet that's exactly what you're doing by attempting to include unorthodox operating conditions under definitions that have been well-understood for decades. It's also exceedingly silly to think that an AB1 amplifier operating at reduced signal levels suddenly fits the definition of Class A.

"It's also exceedingly silly to think that an AB1 amplifier operating at reduced signal levels suddenly fits the definition of Class A."
But that's the problem. A Class AB1 amplifier operating at reduced signal levels does meet the short definition of Class A. So does a lot of other amps. I think there's always some leakage current.
That's why I've been trying to explain that there is more to Class A than the short definition.
