Default MOSFET output stage

Er, perhaps. Mosfets don't have the same thermal characteristics as BJT's,
which are more prone to thermal runaway. So perhaps when you are runing
Mosfets hard, there is some kind of compression thing going on which sounds
nicer than a BJT amp exploding after clipping a lot.


Competently designed BJT amps don't 'explode'. It's not difficult, but the
Chinese haven't quite mastered it yet.
