Jukka,

It is the statement below that really puzzles me. All amp people I know, 
including those that manufacture commercial amps, categorically state that amps 
do not generate harmonics on their own. That is, amps merely amplify them.

To me this seemingly minor difference is huge. If amps only amplify but do not 
generate harmonics then there is no scientific reason for filtering after the 
amp assuming the same amount of filtering is applied before the amp. In 
practical terms, this would mean that low power BPFs before the amp are as 
effective as high power BPFs after the amp.

The key point here is GENERATE vs AMPLIFY harmonics. Can the average 
commercial, well stabilized amp generate harmonics?
