"wallet heat mass and weight for starter "
Seems unreasonable . Unobtainium!
100W Class A? sounds good to me!
3.6A ? It's gonna get hot. May have to add a small fan. Or change the subwoofer to a TRW-17

AudioSan said he was goign to finish first. I am waiting on him.

Truthfully, THe F5T is a COMPLETELY different sound than the F5, which I did not prefer. If the V3 version improves things as much as the V2, I might quit.
Ignore that. IT was said in moment of insanity. I am in fact not doing a V3, but instead a balanced V3, with a twist

at least a got the M3 tap now so i'm only waiting on som alu. i think i finnish the chassis before i power it up. if i don't, it will never be finnished
a chimney will give a lot more mechanic noise. but demands less fans.

and to acctualy get 480W output you need some high voltage. about +/-90V.
2*90V*5.52A=994W dissipation pr ch at idle. and this is minimum

if you want to get say 100W class A at 4ohm, you need about 3.6A bias. and around +/-32V rails(fully loaded)
San,

Can you explain how you are calculating the power from 32v rails ...?

+/-32V rails give you about 29V P-P on the output.
29*29/4ohm=210W peak or 105W Rms.

for class A power:
3.6A*2=7.2A peak.
7.2*7.2*4ohm=207W peak or 103W Rms.

Thank you very much AudioSan. That was very enlightening.
I look forward to your impression of the 4 pair version.
Ron
