And as is your style, you've done nothing but posture about it, Phil. Why
not show us a worked-out example? You're capable of it, I've seen you do it.

A "class A amplifer" is one DESIGNED to work correctly
in that mode.


Whatever that means.


I think it means "A "class A amplifer" is one DESIGNED to work correctly in
that mode. "


His wacky claim about peak device currents being higher
in class A is FALSE.


It's not wacky at all - I've seen it on the bench. It makes perfect sense.
The maximum current through an output device at peak current is increased
when you increase the quiescent current. Something about Kirchoff's law as
applied to the junction of the top and bottom of the output stage, and the
load.


Obfuscation.
