What duty? to suit PA, Disco, home, Partying?

We now know it's for home use and partying and it's 8ohm.
Give us some more clues.
10W or 100W or 1000W?

Honestly, a power amp for PA use (lots of watts) you would spend more building one than you would just to buy one. The heatsink, transformer and case alone would cost a lot, and then a whole lot more for good (real) output transistors.

Perhaps a Class-D subwoofer amplifier for the woofers, as part of an "active" system?

Here's a short list of some sub amps:

On this type of amplifier, the power is given as if you have a 4 ohm load, so they will produce roughly half as much on an 8 ohm load. Its not a defect--that's just advertisement stuff.

Also, check out products for "Prosound," "PA," and "DJ," in your local market. Those are the products that produce the nightclub sound.
