Well, pursuing this one: building for the sake of creating with no agenda other than the search for what works and the personal urge to explore and finding how close to the performance edge you can get
one can never quite be sure that the mark has been hit. Each revision/exploration leaves new stuff to explore.
I suppose the one which got my attention was the 1619 version of the stereo amp. So-so OPTx's and moderattely overbuilt PS. I knew I was on to something. So sure that I made the investment in the better ooutput Iron for that amp. then it's on to a rev. here and a tweak there...
it's not perfect, but it will keep me happy until I figure a way to get a more powerful version of it toghther.
As to power, I figure that ~200-250W is a reasonable liimit. Stuff gets too big and parasitics start being more and more troublesome. There is a limit to what can actually be put through a given x-section of Iron ( W/in^2 has a Hi-Fi limit ).
And with efficient speakers, I ought to be able to live with something like a hundred W.

Douglas
