RE: LOL...

How does one differentiate between different possible operating levels. Lets throw the arbitrary concept of maximum power out the door and consider this to be a preamp design. Can a preamp design only be called class A if it is biased to Tre's set of rules?

From a technical perspective I see no issues with a circuit operating class A up to a given level and then class AB above that level. The issues arise here when the ambiguity comes into play and since the transition period from A to AB can vary wildly from design to design. I see the need to further define the grey areas and am fine with doing this on a case by case basis but to amend a technical definition with subjective and ambiguous terms is just bad practice.
