better post a new thread at bottom of amplifier page or it may not be noticed on this one,you see I started this one in dec.26 2002 and everyone thought it was a stupid question,probably because I asked it,so you better start a new one or it will be 2 years by the time another newby posts here.Bigbob

What you ask is totally dependant on your radios swing I don't see how you could get as little as 5 watts from a 2 pill amp with 3 in without some big swamping resistors at the input,but then you'd degrade your max output,some of these guys are dking .5 watts and swinging to 25 that may get you what you want from your modulator,or I'm just stupid or something.Bigbob

Well there was this guy some time back that bought a 2990 and wanted to know if it was too big for a kl60,he was answered with one word a YES and said thanks,and that was it,I guess I answered my own post here,I just wanted to know if there was a higher output model tube or transistor that could be driven efficiently with the dx2517,now 307 said it would drive the klv1000 4-tuber but would be off about 200 watts from full output which would make it twice the output of the boomer400 but the klv would last a long long time because of the lowered input from radio,so actully this post has been answered in other threads,I just don't understand this guys Q. an amp that will dk 5 watts with 3 watts dk from radio you cant do it and get those swing numbers,it's impossible.Bigbob
