[Amps] Question about SPE 1.3K-FA amplifier

[Bill Turner]

I think Tom, W2SC has the answer. When SPE says a "single device" they
mean a single package which has two transistors in it, and they are
running them in push-pull in the conventional manner. 

Without a schematic one can not be 100% sure, but that is the most
reasonable explanation. 

Thanks, Tom.
