"The reason to run class A is to place the output devices in their most linear region, thus reducing distortion."

I don't disagree with the rest of what you said but putting all of that aside, a Class A/B amplifier never "places the output devices in their most linear region, thus reducing distortion" so none of the output power produced by a Class A/B amplifier can properly be called Class A.

And that was my only point.

My point was meant to be very narrow. Not a statement meant to predict how an amplifier might sound, etc.
