and not an actual class of operation.
Here is the power formula (which is an extraction of Ohm's Law):
1 Watt= 1 Volt times 1 Amp
From this you can see that if you have a voltage, you also have an amperage. The two cannot be separated, else you cause a new branch of physics!
So if you are driving an 8 Ohm speaker with 10 watts (solving for current first):
10 = 8 times the current squared.
Thus the current is about 1.12 Amps. That means the voltage is about 8.93 Volts. Quite literally you can't have one without the other. I don't know what those 'engineers' did but they didn't switch back and forth between just current and just voltage.
Again, I'm not contesting how the amp sounds nor that it works. I am contesting the explanations I've seen, which fly in the face of basic electrical laws.
