Pos: I put in the paragraphs for easier reading.

I actually design into the amps a frequency limiting measure to prevent them form going past about 35K. IMO only noise and possible EMI out above that. When I order custom trannies (most of my projects have them) I specify flat pass band from 20HZ to 25KHZ with a smooth roll off one octave on either end. Must be able to handle that at the full output that I specify and not saturate at the currents I plan on using.
Thus far this has been a successful concept as the amps using them measure to those limits. To be sure the math and design issues are better left to the pros. Also the trannies I get this way are significantly larger, heavier and to a certain extent more costly. The weight and size are roughly double a typical off the shelf trannies. I do not use toroids for outputs, only standard designed ones.
Hi Go,
I just mention the high frequency response (FR) because of the extremely tight coupling/low leakage reactance toroids are known for.
As you have, one could certainly limit the high frequency response (FR) other ways, such as a simple low pass filter, and yet allow for other who wish the higher FR as well.
Tighter coupling, higher FR means more inner detail. I can't remember how much, but back in the 1980s when I worked in the -1db at 200khz vs -1db at 150khz range, and there was definitely a sonic difference.
I don't think there would be any problem making the toroid outputs double the weight of typical toroids I have seen. I wanted better low end anyway, and a larger core would be nice.
It is just a thought, and would appreciate more input from anyone.
cheers and thanks Go.
