[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 27372, member: 20"] The pro amps I have studied use much lower than optimal bias current in the output stages. This is presumably done to lower power consumption and increase reliability. (The supply voltages on high output pro power amps are quite high, therefore the static power dissipation can be high too). For home use, crossover distortion may be noticable as a result. At the high power levels encountered in pro use it probably does not matter much. [/QUOTE]
