Perhaps audio manufactures should drop the term AB
They have, I think. They say something like "high bias AB" or "A/AB"
The curmudgeon in me wants them to just stick to calling it AB. :)
Let's have a fight over it! ;)

Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ?
Perhaps audio manufactures should drop the term AB and adopt A/AB to give consumers more info on how the amp operates. What are the benefits/drawback of two identical 100w amplifier but one is biased for the first 10w in Class A (A/AB = 10/90) whereas the other is class AB from the get go (A/AB = 0/100).The problem is that there is not established standard for A/AB... its purely marketing. Its not misleading if the manufacturer says it transitions from A to AB at a certain power level, but the result is its still class AB. The curmudgeon in me wants them to just stick to calling it AB. :)And that curmudgeon would be 100% correct. |
invictus005"No such thing as A/AB." Wrong! "All of those supposed Pass class A amps, I doubt they put more than 10-15 watts" Wrong! |
