Variable Cylinder Management Analogy

I think I get what you are saying.

In order for class A and B to integrate into A/B, the basis for each is there, but they never truly work as pure now that they are called upon to work together vs how they would work on their own.

It would be like asking an 8 cylinder motor in 4 cylinder variable management mode for better gas mileage, response and RPM's, to give you the identical benefit of a pure 4 cylinder motor. Close but not quite the same.

Motor analogy aside, I wonder if the class B portion of A/B is also somewhat less pure and perhaps audibly different vs a pure class B amp at high volumes.
