RE: Typical solid state amps have highest distortion at lowest levels

While class A has pluses the price you pay for it is high in less power and lots of heat, which is minimal at full power and greatest at least power, where the amp operates almost all the time. A watt is a fair amount of power, 85 db or more on most speakers, and that's pretty loud. Biasing class A at a watt or less does a pretty good job.
