Hi this Mosfet is very pricy , just wondering if it could be used as direct replacement for irfp240 or irfp140 in the
First watt f6 or f5m clones. And does the extra price translate to better quality sound or not???

Hi,
As I could check, the IXTX200N10L2 is designed for linear operation while irfp240/irfp140 are designed for switching.
Current industry is focussed on switching applications, so the cost will be much lower for these devices due to high volume produced.
In addition, the basic parameters such as Vds, Id and power dissipation are not even closer.
Do you have the schematics? We can, at least, check the basics (V, I and P) and then check other parameters such as the capacitances etc.

I would check Vth, transconductance and other transfer properties.
The "linear" mosfets generally have a larger die, to allow for better thermal handling etc.
I would say that even pricey, you get away with fewer as they likely can be driven closer to the thermal limit
mosfets for switching purposes can not be driven to the linit.
