"An ideal amplifier would be a totally linear device, but real amplifiers

only linear within limits."
Before the argument that no such thing as an ideal amp exists is
posed, I would add that the limits within which audio amplifiers must
be linear (including the limits of said linearity) are so benign that
ideal amplifiers within the limits required for audio amps are the
norm rather than the exception.

Irrelevant to the point, Scott. Just admit that you were wrong and that the
term "Ideal Amplifier" is, in fact, a legitimate technical term that has
nothing whatsoever to do taste or aesthetics, and move on.
