I'm sorry.
With my browser I don't see it like this; it fits well inside the field. Actually app. to one half of the forum field width.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Would you suggest me to replace NTC with wirewound Aluminium Clad resistor and attached thermal switch? Anything for safety measures as this power is no joke at all.
I dunno. I guess it depends on what degree of protection you're happy with. Put on the safety goggles and try a power-up sequence with the relay disabled too see what would happen, worse case
There is only one part in present Maximus schematics who's limiting rail voltages to 100 V and that is IRF driver transistor in power stage. I choose this mosfet regarding to its astonishing sound atributes but there are plenty other options for this part if you would like to go to 120 V rail potential. VA stage stays completely the same, only one adaptation has to be performed and that is the value of predriver source feedback resistors.
Also consider a bit higher price for smoothing capacitors in power supply but there is nothing else stoping you to go for 750 Wrms on 8 ohms. You could even say that your amp has one HP (horse power) on 8 ohms.
746Watts is right on the money, I built one many many years ago, based on the Leach topology

Look John, you probably clicked on the arrow mark at the left lower corner, than and only than you can see complete size of the attached image as in your print screen.
You said nothing about the topic, I guess Maximus is too powerfull amp for you.

Yes, too big - even for me!
I like the name
It's a very small value in correlation to emitter resistor, 100pF only and as I remember this speciality folowing me over few designes only as a result of a listening tests. Stability is not an issue if you decided to omit this cap.

Big fun, it's my winter project and imagine Maximus will be born in 2010, trara!
Yes, the name is somehow in accordance with the concept.
Hi electra-ina, although I'm not sure I clearly understand what you mean, suppose good wish, your effort to try to write in English is worthy of praise. Thanks.
As the project will go with its flow, I'll reveal each and every detail to all of you and by the way try to find some improvements from more knowledgeable DIY-ers, thus everybody will benefit from it.
