it's about about 2A. and +/-34V rails. So around 136W pr ch. and around 270W total for a stereo amp. Plus a little loss in PSU and transformer. so closer to 300W total for a stereo amp.
If an Aleph5 is about 136W per channel/270 Watts stereo, would an Aleph30 be 100w per channel or 200W stereo?

Re-posting to rephrase the question:
If an Aleph5 is about 136W per channel/270 Watts stereo, using the same ratio would an Aleph30 be 68w per channel or 136W stereo?
Looking at the owner manuals; Aleph5 is 220 watts total and Aleph30 Volksamp is 200 watts total. Seems like the 5 would have higher dissipation requirements for double the power output than the owner's manual indicates.

Thanks!
To get more power, can add more output MOSFETs , but also can decrease the 1ohm resistor, right? The IRFP244 should be able to handle 1A bias. Is there any reason we can't get 100w max output from A5, except for heat dissipation?

Those numbers do not match up with aleph5. It's more like the voltage and current of aleph2 with the numbers of fets from aleph5.

Correct. It sounded like he wanted an Aleph 5 config but with 100w....which he can certainly do. Although he didn't specify what he wants to drive with it.
