It does that by focusing on usable power vs. max power. By that I mean that most designers will take a 2 watt tube and find the ideal plate curves to achieve maximum power with least distortion from the amp. These designs clip hard, and are picky about speakers. The Zen uses a 9800 ohm output transformer, where most designers would choose 6000 ohm or so. Their amp would have more power, but my amp has more headroom. Also their amp falls on its face when the speaker impedance drops too low. The Zen amp puts out more power as the speaker impedance drops (just the opposite) so it likes it. Stable and happy on even a 2 ohm speaker load. Even though my approach has about half the power on paper it has well over double the usable power into a speaker load. Steve |
