Here's what I think happens:Your statement is correct for slowly changing signals that are well within the amplifier's bandwidth, but is not true for high speed pulses.
Since there is a time delay between input and output of an amplifier, any signal applied to the output will see only the amplifier's open loop output impedance until the signal has traversed the entire forward loop. At that time, a correction signal would appear causing the output to change and attempting to cancel the signal originally applied to the output. If the original signal has been removed (i.e. narrow pulse) I would expect some kind of damped overshoot as the loop re-stabilizes.
This may be moot if we are considering signals that are arriving at the output terminals as a result of a musical signal, since they are (by definition) within the bandwidth of the amp.
