bipolar (bjt) transistor families for audio power output stages

BV: thank you for the right keyword.
About number 3.2 (Device Parameters) of the weblink
Semiconductor Safe Operating Area
there is a description about perforated emitter (also called mesh emitter) designs.

i have some sanken MN2488/MP1620 ,
darlingtons with fairly good perfs,
the datasheet says MOLD TYPE transistors...

BV,

Lumba, You are joking?

I am certainly not.
ON-Semi (and other western manufacturers) has never had the interest nor the skills to make anything beyond switch transistors, which necessarily require different properties than transistors for linear amplification.

Look here, please:
SET
This is set of (quite simple and conventional) amplifier measurements with two pairs "switching" transistors MJL21193/21194..I used thousands of those transistors in last 10years..And You?

Pretty good measurements. What amplifier is that?

I think this one:
PA300 and in english

BV,

I try to stick to Japanese devices, offering a significantly higher performance and manufacturing technology. It´s been my firm conviction for more than 10 years.
Nice measurements, unfortunately, they don´t say anything about the sound.

Japanese devices, offering a significantly higher performance and manufacturing technology. It´s been my firm conviction for more than 10 years.

So, You can for sure show some proofs about this claim? Better linearity? Better SOAR? What is better? Or only feelings and Your ears?
I tried Japenese devices too, but decided to use ONsemi´s
BTW, fortunately ,sound is the same as measurements. Nice and pleasant.

As you can read about number 4 from post #1 of this thread, On-Semi offers both kind of power devices: such with 4 MHz and such with the usual values from that one "made in japan". It would be interest to know, how explain the Onsemi engineers the pro and cons by practical use in power amplifier in audio.

Unfortunately I don't find a comparable test in the web between this two kinds of power devices both at pure class A mode and by AB mode with 20-50 mA through the output
