100 watts... WOW! You must have really inefficient speakers.... or is this for a big Professional installation? My first amp is 4 watts SET, and with 93 dB speakers, I'm pretty happy with it. I can't imagine needing more than 10 or 20 watts!

Meh. I could go for 50-100W. Too bad it'd blow these speakers. -->>>

So yeah, 100W ain't easy, tube or solid state. You might be able to find a kit for like $500 or more but if you're commited to building it yourself, you WILL be starting smaller.

Hmm ...

How i can make my output transformer ?? Wind it myself ...
Hmm .. maybe a simple 10 W design i don't have the knoleage to build a 100 W one ..

A simple and good low power schematic ??

Thanks !

here's one for up to 70W depending on setup. but it can be expensive depending on wich parts you use.

but as the other guys told you, do you really need 100W???

Ah, that's better. You can start with a 6V6 SE or PP amp, such as Revision 3 or Frankenhouse, detailed on my website.

do you really need 100 watts?

probably, if you're going to drive Magnepan or B&W Nautilus. i have two friends who uses those speakers. the B&W is driven by a 100wpc Jadis and the Magnepan is driven by a 150wpc Audio Research.

another friend has Sonus Faber Electa Amator II and is driven by a Conrad Johnson 75wpc.

then i have this friend who drives his Sonus Faber Guarneri with a 300B

try this one. only about 3.5W but accoring to most people that should be enough depending on your speakers. AND it's quite a good manual for a first-timer
(still havn't built my first....waiting on paycheck)
