That's what I was trying to persuade those three clowns to say
instead. As thanks for my efforts Poopie Stevenson (Eeyore
)wrote to me "you're an
ignorant **** and what you say is a load of ********". Charming.

Of course there is a viable body of opinion that an amplification stage
designed to work under Class A conditions, when driven into clipping, is no
longer working as a Class A stage. Under that definition, they are
completely correct.

And that same logic also resolves the original question, when a class AB
amplifier is driven at a low enough level it becomes a class A amplifier
and then obviously pots out "class A" power.
