We're dealing with bandwidth limited signals here, there are no 'instantaneous' changes. Of course you want your amp to have a power bandwidth that's considerably wider than what it needs to reproduce, but at best that will be a 96kHz signal in the audio world...

Absolutely. I'm not at all challenging the concept of stacking buffers. But wouldn't it be nice to understand why and how it works (and in what cases it doesn't, like in the ground channel)? I think we can scratch slew rate induced distortion off the list.
