Clipping in an amp is ... or it wouldn't be linear in the region it is
used in.

So what is clipping but a...nonlinearity?

If you mean keeping certain parts of the circuit in their linear range
while others crash, well no, that still doesn't count as what I think
you said, because something went out of bounds. I mean, you could
intentionally add clamps to limit voltage and current swing and call it
a feature, but it's still nonlinear. The best thing you can do is
design and build your circuit to handle such things gracefully. I'm
listening to an amp right now that comes out of saturation within
microseconds, with a perfectly smooth recovery -- no transient top or
bottom.

The best thing you can do is to design your system so that it remains
linear up to the "threshold of pain." Anything less is a compromise.


To me, with some 'modern music' anything above a mW is above the
threshold of pain.

In 2006 and 2007, will there be any songs that will become classics
recognized for decades?
