Entirely calaculable though.


A common power amp will have +/- 80
volt DC rails and may need to deliver up to 15 amps
peak to the load.


15 Amps ? I'd design for 40 !


OK.

In your opinion Graham, what would the quiescent
dissipation of a traditionally-designed output stage
like this be?


Phil's already covered that and I'm in accord with what
he says.


I see no numbers, just a lot of fussing and fuming.
