Bias adjustment on solid state amplifiers

The main reason to increase the bias of a SS amp is to reduce crossover (i.e. notch) distortion, but it is not really something a consumer should do, and the benefits are rarely worth the risk to the transistors and power supply.

Where exactly to set the bias point for a given transistor is a matter of some art. Enough to eliminate gross distortion but not enough to warm the room.

Because it's a set once and forget forever issue with SS amps. Also, you aren't as much setting bias as DC offset.
