No! If you have +65V and -65V and the output at 0V (as it should be), with no signal, each transistor has just a bit less than 65V because of some losses. The 63V is fine.
Nelson was thinking your 65V was really +32.5V and -32.5V.
You DO realise that several days of posting were wasted just because you're too lazy to post a schematic?
You should also read up on class A, because the voltage across the transistors has nothing to do with that.
Do your homework, Google is your friend.

Two (2) MJ15003 & 2 MJ15004 at the output, push pull, Vcc 65v @ 1.5Amps continous at no load. ...
here is the schematc...
Not going to end up well, no way.

This is more suitable for a Class B or AB PA amplifier. Forget class A!here is the schematc
Thank you. I am with the others:here is the schematc
Class A/B. Or "B".
2 x 65 V are very unusual for Class A - exept you would use 2 x 15 powertransistors, or so on;-)
Your psu had to give > 1,2 kW continuous;-) There should be a trafo-power of > 2,5 kW, as example;-)
You could set the current bias as high as psu and heatsinks perform;-)
No, frying tonight!Not going to end up well, no way.![]()
My Krell KSA 50 clone with 3 pairs of the same transistors, + and - 36v rails and the .6amp through each requires a massive fan cooled heatsink to keep the TO3 cans below 70C.
how much current per transistor should be set to make it at class AB? thnkaIf that is 1.5A per transistor, that's about 100W per transistor, or 400W for one channel.
Unless you have a water-cooled heatsink, the magic smoke will be released!

ok thanks for the infos guys, so i need current settings to make it in class ABThank you. I am with the others:

thanks. what set of current for this amp into class AB?This is more suitable for a Class B or AB PA amplifier. Forget class A!
