Don't LOL. They might not buy your splatterboxes.
You're quite right... but it's really not because they are
splatterboxes... as you put it. Really, they are quite linear with the
fully temperature controlled AB-Biasing (active transistor tracking..
not just plain diode). It's usually because they can't afford one...
I've explained this to you many times before, Brian, but obviously it
didn't sink in. So here you go:
linearity -- 1. The relationship existing between two quantities when
a change in a second quantity is directly proportionate to a change in
the first quantity. 2. Deviation from a straight-line response to an
input signal..... etc, etc, etc.
Now look at the response curve in the spec sheet that -YOU- wrote for
-YOUR- amp. Is that a straight line? No, not unless you are either
drunk or using noneuclidean geometry. Your amp, by definition, is
non-linear.
