[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 2291814, member: 555251"] It's the cost of the transformers, basically... Anytime you have an audio signal that passes through a transformer, that's going to be the limiting factor in the bandwidth, and single ended amps like the ones you linked to require air gapped output transformers; cheaper iron core ones will kill any chance of having a flat frequency response. And the power transformer needs to be sized to provide 100% rated power, all the time, every time the amp is on. It's definitely not an efficient way to make noise [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Push pull amps don't demand as much, because they're operating in Class AB and split the power demands between two or more tubes.
