It depends by the desired power level.
A too low impedance leads always to poor results, my opinion is that over
500W and solid state PA it's not the best to run 14VDC.
A DC-DC converter to a minimum of 48VDC for semiconductors or HV for tubes
(why not) should be considered with power levels exceeding 500W out.
Incidentally, a DC DC converter must be stopped during RX and a poor antenna
anyway doesn't radiate reasonable power in any case.
