I believe there was an article a few years back about a complete 
portable amp using the 8877. The PS was a built in switching unit. IIRC 
the whole thing weighed less than 30#.  I like the 8877. They are easy 
to drive, compact (for the power) and efficient, but hey are a tad on 
the pricey side. Imports are, or were available for around the $500 to 
$600 range.
