Thought that class A could be running aloneclass A means that the output transistors never go into cutoff. In your case the output transistors cutoff at slight more than half of the output waveform. This is to prevent any distortion at the critical point where the signal goes from positive to negative and vice versa. Class A makes significant heat since the transistors are on all the time; class AB makes a lot less heat and also more power.
atmasphere would you explain what that means?
