Regarding transformer shielding: how thick should the mu metal sheet be ?
- as thick as possible ? As thin as possible? Or it just doesn’t matter ?
Also, is 99.9% nickel foil suitable or should I really source “mu metal” ?
Many Thanks! (I really need to finish building that amp after all these years !)

Ho well.. I found this paper

Seems in theory mumetal is much better, but in practice doesn’t make much difference.
Also it should have been obvious, but the shielding should be as thick as possible
Is that correct?

The question is if you need more voltage swing or more current? …..or both….it depends on the speaker impedance at the low end?
My guess is that more current is needed if the magnepans goes low in impedance?
Then you need higher bias. Zen Mod made the M25 which is a M2 running at higher bias (as I have understood it) so maybe you can look at the M25 schematic and get some ideas on how to raise bias?

I mean - writing in bold and big font , pretty much the same as shouting 
of FW format amps , I can think of bridged F4 ( which means two regular stereo ones driven with balanced signal) , F5 Turbo (iteration you're ready for) , damn big BA3 ...... maybe you could even like amp from recent alive thread - AB 100W amp
there is slight possibility that Babelfish M25's 50W/4R could make some difference , counting on fact that 40W of these is in A class , but I can't guarantee that
so ..... build and try
