The amp already has the resistors mentioned. So its been easy enough over the years to measure this,
A2 trades greater power for linearity. If the tubes were to cut off without the amp clipping, the result would be a class AB2 amplifier. This is explained in the FAQ section of the website and has been there for over a year.
