One of the Stealth's features was adjustable levels of class A bias. From the front panel—in fact from the remote—users could set the output bias levels from low class A to fairly high levels of class A bias and find what suited their systems best.
What we found was interesting. With the bias levels set to their lowest point, the amp displayed power and dynamics. With the bias turned up on high—which I believe was 35 watts of class A—the sound sweetened but the dynamics and impact of the amp lessened. Users could choose which trade off they enjoyed most.
I hadn't thought of that design for years. Thanks for the great question.
