RE: Yours is not a conventional understanding of a "class" of operation...

Steve
Technical definitions have been altered since forever.It is very common in the automotive technical glossary if you do some comparative analysis of definitions from the 1970s to what we use today.

Now,every definition I have seen,especially when it comes to audio amplifier design says,

Class A Amplifier

Class A Amplifiers are the most common type of amplifier class due mainly to their simple design. Class A, literally means "the best class" of amplifier due mainly to their low signal distortion levels and are probably the best sounding of all the amplifier classes mentioned here. The class A amplifier has the highest linearity over the other amplifier classes and as such operates in the linear portion of the characteristics curve.
