As a driver for the high power analog stages yes, but note that its forte is a 
200 volt output swing, at only 9 milliamps of output, so to continue from my 
other message, the end result, given a sufficiently robust output stage for 
it to drive, would be something very badly in need of heavy duty, noisy,  
cooling.  A 29 db rated muffin fan could cool quite a few of those gizmo's 
from Ramsey.  All we need are motors that run at full song on a 40 volt peak 
to peak drive.  The question then becomes, are such motors available? 

I do not know without googling.

We can switch many tens of amps of current on and off with little power loss 
with the right devices today.  To do analog control of that much voltage and 
current would lose 80% of the input power in the devices that would need to 
get rid of 2kw worth of heat for a 500 watt motor drive, and the devices have 
to be 100 times as rugged.  That doesn't make sense today when a class D 
circuit can do this 500 watt motor with maybe 10 watts of heat loss, and 
probably, because it doesn't run that hot, 10x as dependable as the analog 
version.
