I love high powered amplifiers. And, for those wondering why, this is not about any macho thing, like meeting and leaving the party with the girl with the biggest b..... Instead, it's about getting great sound via at least 2 paths. First, big power eliminates clipping, which sounds awful on ss. Second, it's about having complete control over the speaker so it can reach its potential and make the recording sound like real music. When the capable speaker can start fast, stop fast , decay properly, generate bass that is deep, thunderous, and tuneful, the highs that are sweet and not brittle, etc., it sounds more real.
How robust should the power supply be for high powered amplifier? What is the trade off between power supply size and availability of current when needed ? Does a 240 v line ( or international equivalent) make a difference? Does the weight of the amp correspond to size of power supply, or heat sinks/ metal work, or something else?
Are there big differences in power supply design between tube and solid state amplifiers?
