RE: I don't disagree with the main aims of Class A ...

"The best way I can get my point across is to ask you this question. If I design an amplifier that under normal operating conditions remains in conduction with no grid current, but I do not set the operating point anywhere near the "midpoint" or "the most linear part of the curve" yet achieve the main goal (even using your argument) of low distortion, how would YOU classify it?"

I think I would just ask you why you didn't set the operating point at the midpoint.

I answered Dave.

A Class A amplifier driven beyond the linear part of the curve is a Class A amplifier that is being abused. Why would anyone want to do that?

I think this horse is dead.
