As noted in my tutorial, that's true for some amps, but not for others. For 
MANY amps, the last output filter element is a series inductor, making it a 
relatively high impedance at the harmonic.  For such an amp, the best place 
for the stub is very close to the amp. The tutorial includes a matrix listing 
many popular amps, thanks in part to feedback received when I asked about 
amps on this reflector several months ago.
