I was listening toady Rossini’s  “Sonata per Archi” and suddenly a strange feeling stroke me: I become suddenly queries about “more power”. It was not that something directly encouraged me in the Sound that I am getting in here. I never heard the Super Melquiades LF channel clipping in my room and most likely my windows would fly away before it happen but still…. I was wondering what is beyond of juts “being more then enough” power.

Something “interesting” lives in the super high gain and in the super excessive power.  I wonder if speakers (I am talking about juts LF section) are made properly, sound properly and could be driven perfectly fine by I would say 20W then HOW they would sound is the very same gain amplifier would drive them but thie time the amp would be able to output I would say 400W-500W?

Let live aside the high power SS amps. It is not difficult to make them 1000W but they will do different bass. I am talking about as crazy as 500W of A1-A2 operating triodes, preferably in A1? There are a number of the high power amps out there: 572,  813, 833, the Svetlana triodes with 350W of plate dissipation, some transmitting high voltage EIMAC tubes but they all still 100W-150W of A1. How can we get more, preferably a lot of more?

It looks that with contemporary cooling methods it would not be a big deal to submerge such a tube into a circulating-cooling oil and let the amplifier besides the driving the speakers also to deep-fry chicken…. I’m taking about some kind of two states, SET 500W monster,  with 500 pounds PS….

It would be interesting is to hear this amp, purely in metaphysical sense, and to hear what it would be able to do, and particualy  if it were able to go down a few Hz at it's full power….

I wonder if someone has it. I would fly ower to hear it…..
