Hi Larry,
Wellllll, if you wanted to invest more time and effort on the power
supply than the amplifier, you could build a switcher. A "gravitational
constant" of 100 watts per pound is easily realized. :-)
One interesting benefit of a switching plate supply is the elimination
of excessive "glitch" energy... and just think of the fun you could have
pointing out the .1uf / 10KV plate supply filter cap to visitors!
