You're assuming they all start as Class AB output stages there.

**That's because there are essentially no Class A push pull designs
(anymore). They're all Class A/B with different bias currents.

That's where I plan to differ.

Now. To get back to the original question.... Have you heard a noticeable
difference between Class A and A/B ?

**Not in a properly designed Class A/B amp. In a poorly designed Class A/B
amp, increasing bias will make it better.

So do tell me, what happens to the delta Vbe in an A/B output stage ? ( note its
relationship to current )
