SA2015 IPS/VAS/OPS technology is used with IRFP240/9240 and another variant of this amp is using a single pair of IXYS high power VMOS IXTH80N20L/48P20P. This amplifier has been renamed to SA2017. SA2017 isn't cabled because the home cinema/laboratory project uses up all my spare time. Will take some weeks till my new lab goes into "production" ;).

Have fun, Toni

P.S.: on saturday we will do the floor finish...

The heatsink - think you mean ct-400 / 400x120x40 mm - has a RthK of 0.35 degree.

One channel SA2014 driven with +/- 70V rails dissipates about 63W on idle which increases the heatsink temperature about 22 degree above ambient with normal convection cooling. On a hot summer day the transistor temperatures may be too high to be in the allowed SOA range if you drive the amplifier harder ...
With forced air cooling you may use them for this project but you must ensure, that the forced air cooling is equal spread over the whole length of the heatsink.
