Thanks for the suggestions.

How do you rework it to 4 x 15V? Is it to rewind it?

I've thought about a variac/choke, and also triac control for the AC but decided to have less parts in line with the Zen philosophy.

Also I'm not sure if using a "capacitor bridge? for a floating ground?" will work (i.e., 2 caps in series tied to 0 and 38V, tap in the middle for 0V...so I can have -19V 0V +19V... sorry I don't know the correct name for this circuit)

My question still is will I blow something up with +-38V rails? Thanks.

Most likely you will fry the Jfets as these have a breakdown voltage of ~25V. If I know NP only a tiny bit, it is not by chance that the F4 uses a 23V rails.....

Thank's Steenoe ... I guess they sound like your''e abbeys, but perhaps, with a little more punch. Well theyr'e not completly finish yet, still missing final coat, edge banding and some wooden phase-plugs

They are very heavy, as i filled the room beneth with drysand (The kind used to blow paint on walls off)

Jesper.

I might just have to do that ... so, 23.5dB gain... anyway to convince me with numbers that this will make these hard to drive speakers sing loudly? Extra points for using acoustic watts

With a balanced F4, yes it will make just about anything sing at 23dB gain
