And the bias current in the output stage is a far larger
fraction of the maximum load current. It may operate
entirely in Class A with many or even most loads. Not
many people are using 600 ohm working.

Let that apply for the poweramp too ... not at an
unrealistic concept for home use ... and there is NO
issue.

IME, most home systems spend much of their time running at very low levels
where neither side of the output stage is ever cut off.
