Sorta an X600/X1000 clone discussion but, very doable With gobbs of output power

I'll repeat myself here, but with a project like this one, I would seriously consider a three phase full wave rectified power supply. It's almost DC straight from the diodes.
I love to learn, calculator is smoking.... Thanks, I think if you put a lot of new tech into stuff you can do a lot more than conventional ways. I think after a month of this fun stuff the idea can be in place to do what is needed. appreciated.
its a 4500 watt heatsinkpic?
Link?
1000W heatsink is crazy

It is DC straight from the rectifier - that's a rectifier's job.
I see that, wow.... Problem might 3 phase... I think a lot of people overthought all of this....It is DC straight from the rectifier - that's a rectifier's job.
It's kinda in my avitar... Ok, I won't mess with you, it has to do with a garden hose.pic?

.006 c/w
Allow me to recommend a fitting fan for that heatsink.
(mm, odd, howcome I feel like adressing you as Flipper all of a sudden ?)

I remember what beer did to me, coffee is the opposite. Flipper is just what the audio world needs, to be flipped on their heads! I remeber seeing that guy jumping out at 120,000 feet, imagine if he didn't have a chute...

something like this?
Genesys(TM) 3U 10/15kW Programmable DC Power Supplies from TDK-Lambda Americas
I think this is the variable rail model.. at least the idea seems sound... Just wish my welder had 3 phase output... They make 3 phase generators, and single phase to 3 phase converters.... It is a good idea that needs to be ironed out, it draws a lot, I guess it depends on the load though...

What speaker will this amp be driving? Can you tell us this?
Sounds like pretty much any.. and probably to concert levels, 2000 watts per channel of class a at 4 ohms. Can't solve this project in 1 day but we are making progress. Power still isnt going to come cheap unless it's military surplus or a place that does have 3 phase...
You probably can ram the speaker wires together at full output and hurt nothing.

Forgot to say I love that pic, oh yeah, that $115 4500 watt heatsink is not the big one.
I'm sure you're fine.
But you are getting a quick picture of how much cost is involved with a
1000 watt Aleph.
It could be worse, the SIT-1 has about 6% efficiency or so. Imagine having
to source and dissipate 16 KW.
per channel.
It could be done though
