Super-power amps - higher current better than higher voltage

[AMPMAN]

I thought the point we were discussing was the suitability of transistors as low voltage high current devices, therefore needing low impedance speakers. I have shown you that they exist, So is it more rewarding to pursue this line of enquiry?I'm not an engineer so I don't have the anwser's. I repeat, the auto guys seem to do just fine with 12 volts

The auto people also make extensive use of SMPS DC-DC converters to get suitably high rail voltages.

Yeah but with devices like the 2N5686/5684, you'd think that low impedance would be quite an option.

[AMPMAN]

I guess the things that come into play are manufacturing costs,bigger current bigger transformer's etc etc. So theory has to make way for the practical

Aha!! So it was YOU that was cranking up the watts in your cabin to the extent that it made the Titanic sink. I remember the dishes part...
