Big chassis designs!

Oh I wish I could claim responsibility for that first amp, but it's a Decware Torii!

Thanks for the links!

Zman, I'll look around for that build! I do have an SSE that I'm very happy with. That said, a different design might be more interesting for me (though Anchan's build might provide some inspiration).

Rather than cram lots of stuff in there you might simply take advantage of the space to make a really nice layout of a simpler amp - keeping chokes away from power trafo, and both away from output tafo's - makes for a quieter amp and it's surprising how crowded a chasis gets once wiring is underway. If it looks to 'bare' you could pop in a couple of analogue meters.

Fewer big parts instead of many small parts? I'd gladly build a kt88 set with the ideal layout, but I worry a little about the sense of proportion if doing that. The 6c33 posted earlier was interesting...

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

On the other hand, you could always fill some top-plate space with a little Art .

Ain't that the truth. My Midlife Crisis monoblocks are each 18"x22" and they are packed full, inside and out!

Hypothetically, a simpler design is also cheaper (or at least I can spend extra on better parts because their aren't as many).

I'm very much digging the Vinyl Savor SET designs. Very Scandinavian (though I gather he's German):
