Very creative, Doug. Congratulations. I've been a fan of hi-fi amplifiers for a while; a former boss wanted to speed up an AC driven turntable and I suggested using an audio generator and hi-fi amp running into a control or filament transformer backwards -- this is a really cheap way to get high-power, variable frequency AC. In the event, he decided against it; he was afraid of burning out the table motor, though I still think it was over-rated for the load we placed on it.

It is 600w stereo, 1000w mono and can be configured for output impedances of 16, 8, 4, 2 or 1 ohm. We also use this amp for CS101. Although you could get by with about 200w, the extra power is often helpful. Even though the amp is rated only to 20 kHz, it has only a slight roll off at 100 kHz. And the Grateful Dead used 'em for years for concert amplification! Doug Frazee EMC Compliance Engineer Alliant Techsystems, Inc.
