Old thread but felt compelled to correct the previous statement:
Tandberg amps are in fact class AB, not class B. The outputs are not shut off completely with no signal present, which would be required to meet Class B definition.
You wouldn't be setting bias adustments at 35-40mV otherwise :-)
They made receivers with capacitive coupling (in the TR 1000 series) and without (everything subsequent to those), and they made bipolar receivers & amps and later MOSFET amps in both integrated & component form, and one receiver (3080A).
All of those are class AB.
