Had a look around Wikipedia , re  phase , -3 db , margins , that sort of thing ..as for  removing bits ... would not be the  first person to  run into allsorts of  problems getting a  (137k )  amp to  run on 500  'with' half the bits chopped out ..and  still  zapp the  out put devices ...  easier to agree with  MAL  
 
(apart from the class  d/e bit that is I think there is still a lot  of un-known's /gray noise etc associated with the  concept .. articles like this  seem to address the  'un spoken' >  http://www.qsl.net/wm5z/qex199907.pdf < the subject of heat dissipation in magnetic's hovers in the background as well for these amplifiers)

Hi All,
Just started constructing TX for 136kHz, noticed Maplin do a Velleman audio PA kit that is rated at 200W (100W RMS into 4R). OK there's no mains transformer or heat sink, but reckon it's good value at £14.99. Point is the specs also say the minus 3db frequency response is 3Hz / 200kHz.
The RSGB books 'LF Today' refer to using audio amps as PAs at 136 with 'a few modifications'. Does anybody know where these modifications are documented? I guess there's nothing major, reduce a few cap values? Remove Zobel Network etc.?? If anyone has experience with this approach I would appreciate some hints. Thanks.
Chris, G4AYT, Whitstable.
