Yeah, it's been hashed a dozen times, clipping ain't DC, and people with high levels of knowledge don't say it is.
Just salesmen and and fader jocks. Not real engineers.
In practice, the severely clipped amp won't do a perfect square wave, it will sag. so the "virtual DC" argument falls flat on it's face...most supply rails do not have enough storage to sustain a full square wave...some of the real heavy old iron may.
But I don't talk about old amps to make a point, nobody uses them any more.
It's been an interesting combination and as I've said, completely on topic for all. It's given me a chuckle too to see what the techs think of what Assilon calls 'fader jockeys'. And then there's Jamie. He's in his own league.
Crowns of that era always sounded gritty to me and had no better heatsinks either. Never bothered with them then or since. Well especially as I 'roll my own' these days !
Several UK companies like RSD/Studiomaster and Turner realised the heatsinking problem and dealt with it. We had a Turner in my rig for a while. Sounded fine too. It was driving mids (Philishave lookalikes - home made).
