I see, like an orange OR style power amp but 200watts? sounds like a beast! Hopefully the beginning of next year we can start on the Adamos :evil:

yea generally speaking its like taking the back half of ur amp possible minus the Class AB2 coupling out of it to achieve full power 200W. Cathodynes are nice sounding but lack voltage swing and generally cant output as much power into a 50k load as a long tail pair could

in theory it is not, generally speaking to achieve a true 200W you need to design it properly using proper voltages. The cost comes in from the iron, usually has to be top quality shit.

I can give u a design to use if you want, with transformer recommendations

oh shit then its much cheaper and simpler. If you wanna stay simple enough the PT would need to be like

400-0-400 # 500 mA (or more current which is better)
6.3V CT @ 10A (or so)
100VAC Bias tap

and any nice overrated OT with a 2k - 2.2k primary.
