Aug 2, 2017 at 18:44 comment added LorenzoDonati4Ukraine-OnStrike @Keno A good design is a design that takes into account the worst case. For an audio amplifier, if you mean a class A amplifier (one MOSFET biased in its saturation region), the design is tricky, because you cannot know in advance where Vth lies precisely. Probably you will need some kind of trimpot to manually adjust the bias on the field.
Aug 2, 2017 at 18:41 comment added LorenzoDonati4Ukraine-OnStrike @Keno No! Probably you haven't understood the meaning of those min/max values. The datasheets is telling you that every specimen of that MOSFET (statistically speaking) has a Vth guaranteed to lie between those limits. You may have a bag of those and one could have, say, a Vth=1V and another a Vth=2.5V randomly.
