[Amps] Advice needed for SS amp

[Alex Eban]

No, it was true!
Due to the low impedances involved they were quite broadband.
The biggest headache was to keep the tubes at equal-more or less- current
drains so as not to blow one. At least, when you blew one of 16 out nobody
would notice.

Someone back in the sixties ( SBE ?) made an amp with what ... 16 sweep
tubes ?

Low voltage / high current maybe 500 volts at 10 amps for a 50 ohm plate
impedance.

Never saw one close up, but it was said that it could take out the whole
band...

hear-say of course, so disregard unless verified
