YUCK! YES!!!!

They are... so there is another reason for good design and headroom - you get
less distorsion. I really wonder how much distorsion there is. Maybe one should
actually go about and measure it. Problem is I am in Budapest and my gear is in
Stockholm, so it have to wait until I get back home.

I also assume it will be frequency dependent, so there is a challenge right
there...

Cheers,
Magnus
