[Amps] Bill Orr comment

[Carl]

Depends on how much of a quack your resident guru is.

A 4-1000A will certainly fit that criteria as well as a 3CX1200. The 8877 
wont and neither will a 3-500Z, at least by staying within ratings.

The 3CX1000A7 in my 2M amp is right at 2.0

Have you seen a possible pattern here?

If it sounds like a duck.......
