If the "marketing bs" regards how marketing itself misuses the term 'Class-A amplification' in its pure form (i.e.: disguised as high bias Class-A/B designs), Class-A in its strict sense is hardly to blame, nor is its sonic potential fully explored. By the same token marketing would have had its influence into making us fancy high power ratings, which in all practicality seems mutually exclusive with (true) Class-A designs.
Let's not forget what we're really fighting here: misleading marketing.
Mtrot, I wouldn't get too hung up on Class A biasing to be honest, it is mostly marketing bs.
