When adjusting the bias for a 2sc2879 amp operating at 15v, what should the
resting collector current be for reasonably linear operation?  I've seen values
suggested that range from 100 to 200 ma per transistor.

I say 'reasonably linear' because the amplifier is operated only on CW and IMD
is not a big consideration (although harmonics are, of course).

Thanks
