Can I use 35VAC 0 35VAC (Rectifiered voltage +50VDC 0 -50VDC) Transformer for 2*TDA7294 100w Amplifier.Is this too much?

the datasheet says
"VERY HIGH OPERATING VOLTAGE RANGE (±40v)"
Later it says the absolute maximum supply is to be less than ±50V when no signal is applied.
The highest transformer voltage you can use is approximately 27-0-27Vac
Depending on your mains supply voltage and tolerance and on the transformer regulation you may find that your maximum transformer voltage can be anywhere from 25.5-0-25.5Vac to 28-0-28Vac

You could drop those few extra volts with a capacitance multiplier or basic regulator circuit that can give out at least an average of whatever Ipeak into 4 ohms is (starting point for worse case average current and allowing for impedance dips). A reasonably hefty capacitor after either (>1,000uf) is still required though to handle current peaks. As long as it CAN handle your worse case current demands the regulator need be nothing fancy. A simple zener referenced emitter follower would work wonders.
This might well be obvious, but I thought you wanted to save your transformer which after all is the expensive bit!

For the TDA7294 circuit pictured above, it's output is rated 10A peak under "absolute maximum ratings" P. 2 of the datasheet.
So your regulator does not really need to supply any more than this.

+-50v toomuch
I recommend
+-35V(full load) for 8 ohms
+-26(full load) for 4 ohms
(@ idle +-44V Ok)
+-40V 8ohms is ok with infinit heatsink
+-50v working but only for few minuits

The Micromega AMP 3 ( tda 7294 + power transistors) , works pretty well at +/-40 v under 4 or 8 ohms load , I run bi-amp with two of these nice amps , and my speakers are 4 ohms ;-)
the datasheet is clear +/- 40 v is the upper limit for the 7294 , and +/- 50 v for the 7293 , so 7293 is your only choice ;-)

Unless regulating the supply rails you must at least also take into account +10% mains voltage taking for example +/-50VDC supplies up to +/-55V. This transformer you are trying to use it may be said is just too large for chipamps! Keep it and make a good discrete subwoofer amp (or similar) later. For chipamps, follow Fabrices' or earlier suggestions for lower voltage transformer!

My Speakers ratings are: 6ohm , max output 80W.
i bought a TDA7294 based 5 channel amplifier. i am planning to use 24-0-24 8amp or 10amp ratings.
is it best suitable for best output? pls answer quickly. Thanks.
