Class A Power in A/B amplifiers?


Is there a general industry standard for the amount of Class A power in Class A/B amplifiers?For instance SimAudio has always touted that they run Class A for the first 5 watts.Curious how other higher end manufacturers approach this..

Some interesting insight.
@gs5556"There really is no such class as Class AB, it is used to describe the mode of operation when a Class A amp hits a low impedance and one of the pairs of output transistors stops conducting"..Would this mean that by keeping the load impedance stable & highish it would keep the amplifier operating in Class A longer?
