ILP were first class engineers greatly held back by the format. Impossible to adjust. No breathing room for the capacitors. Apart from that very nicely thought out with a beautiful extrusion. Not cheap to do. Myself I would have made them AC coupled with external capacitor. A no-no for marketing. They easily could meet output on music. They couldn't if driving a constant load. That isn't rare.
Farnell still do ilp modules...

I purchased a pair of ILP MOS248s, in London, in the early to mid 80s. I never had time to build a power amp until full retirement and Covid-19 isolation afforded me that time. I made the enclosure from aluminum laminated building cladding. The toroidal transformer and Sprague 10,000uf filter caps were also purchased from Henrys Electronics Ltd.
The end product turned out better than I expected. In my 72 years of owning, Sherwood, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, Marantz, SAE, Carver consumer audio gear, I am blown away by its sonic quality. I have played it thru my AR-3As and my Klipsch Chorus IIs. The MOSFET output drives them to produce powerful bass, clear midrange and crisp highs.
