unanswerable as posed

Dave's question was rhetorical, but I answered it anyway. I'd take his point even further and say that, at the outset, not only was reducing distortion not 'the main' purpose, but it wasn't even 'a' purpose. However, once the benefit was demonstrated, it became a design option. Even the 'little' X150 has 40 MOSFETs in the output stage - the X350 (or X600) only adds 8 more.

Your question is too open ended to answer.

My only reason for starting this sub-discussion is that I disagree with the statement that the lower powered members of a series sound better as a result of having fewer devices in the output stage. If done properly, more devices in parallel should always result in a measurable improvement. Whether or not such an improvement is audible is another matter. Is a reduction of an inaudible distortion somehow more inaudible? ;-)
