[Amps] Solid state amps

[Dan K9ZF]

Is it just me, or is building solid state amps 'cost prohibitive'?

Mechanically, it would seem a lot easier to build solid state, but the 
power fets just seem way too expensive.  For example, I  just read the 
article Win posted.  So I looked up the price of MRF 154's.....$485 
each!  Add in some stuff like heat sinks and an arc welder size power 
supply................

Maybe I'm just cheap:-)
