500 Watt Audio Power Amplifier
What can be done to increase available audio power amplifier? The answer is either decrease load impedance or increase supply voltage. The lower the impedance, the more current is needed, making the construction of low impedance output stages more difficult (there are some other practical limits), so let's increase supply voltage!
