Looking for 100wpc 8ohm mosfet based PCB

[Dougie085]

I'm looking for a nice Class A mosfet based amp that will do 100wpc at 8ohms. I'd like it to be a PCB that is available somewhere that I can buy right now. Any idea's? Right now the speakers are Klipsch Reference but eventually it will be large 3 ways using RS driver most likely.

Hi,
The chances of finding a 100W ClassA PCB is near nil.

If you really don't know: the A75 design by Mr Pass and Mr Thagard.
You can download the two parts of the A75 building manual from Mr P., order the A75 main board from AudioXpress.

Well 60 wpc at 8ohms would be enough. And over 100 at 4ohms would be nice.

Is there a BOM for the Aleph 5 somewhere? I've searched and can't find it. I'm thinking of ordering the boards from chipamp.com and building a pair of Aleph 5's.

Hi,
ClassA output power is limited by the level of ClassA current available.

If you have a 60W into 8ohm ClassA output and instead connect a 4ohm load the maximum ClassA output drops to 30W.
Use P=I^2*Rload instead of the usual P=V^2/Rload to see the effect of a load change.

Good one, Dennis.

Dougie,
you can still use IRFP9140s for the full Class A version of the GB300D.
No idea how the Class A version of the 300 sounds, i haven't read of someone constructing one yet, the GB150D in 50 watt A i assembled is excellent value for money and really fast to put together.
Ordering the IRFP9140 is apac on your end.
