(EQP) WEST-FG-10
Westinghouse type FG-10 Audio Amplifier - 10 kw. Accepts 600 ohm input
signal, 10 mW maximum and produces 10 kw output at impedances from 1.6
ohms up. Frequency response 30 - 10,000 Hz @ ±1.5%. Total harmonic
distortion less than 5%. Reduced output available below 30 Hz and up to
20,000 Hz. Multiple tapped output transformer allows a wide range of
output impedances.
Uses a McIntosh K-1071, 200 watt amplifier as a driver, feeding four (4)
WL-5736 triodes with plate dissipation of 2500 watts per tube and
maximum DC input power of 4200 watts.
Useful for driving vibration testing equipment or other industrial
applications. Single channel, not stereo.
Another feature of this unit is that it only requires 23 square feet of
floor space in a 82-1/2" tall cabinet. Condition of unit is excellent.
Probably never used, but 60 years of dust. Manufactured in 1953. Weighs
2,500 lbs. Manual is included. Sold as-is. No warranty expressed or
implied.
* Input power: 230 or 460 vac, 3 phase @ 50 Hz or 60 Hz
* Dimensions: 34" x 44" x 82-1/2"H
$25,000 each

Pah, you can get 40kW of amp in a 1U box with close to zero distortion for
around $1500.
Now THAT is an amplifier.

Does it come with a bridge? Usually stories like this involve the sale of a

Oops, so I am. Typo in translation
15 thousand of your US dollars will get you 20kW per side bridged, if you
have an appropriate 3-phase supply.

They must have a warehouse full of them. You know how strong the demand is. Everyone wants to put three phass power in their house right ? Around here you pay for that, not the power company. It is not cheap and is actually not available in most residential areas here.
still trying to sell the same one? "
And no mention of speakers. I am selling my Phase Linear because it blew so many speakers. What (watt) are we talking here ? A thousand speakers that can handle what, a couple thousand apiece ? That'll make you neighbors happy, and I mean even if you are on a farm.
Things like this are made for like Woodstock. Not even to be used in the city. Nice to imagine having one, but thing about the speakers.
And the cops. I have been in jail for a loud stereo. One day and actually it was not bad. But still, I would have had a better time at hoe because there was beer there.

I am presently running an amp capable of 500 watts into its speakers (Citation 16 into Maggies). I can (and do) play at any volume I would care to - that is I could tolerate without ear damage - and without clipping. I have no worries about speaker damage. The Citation 16, while not quite in the Phase Linear 700B class, certainly is in the 400 class.

I use regularly two brute-force amps, both HK products (Citation 16 & 19). Again I can (and do) run *LOUD* and have never, repeat, never damaged a speaker thereby. This is not to mention the several other amp & speaker combinations in the inventory.
I suspect user-error.

made in Hong Kong (or mainland China for that matter). And I'd certainly
never admit it in a newsgroup!
I still think the best combo by far is Scandanavian amps like B&O coupled
with English speakers such as Celestion, Tannoy, KEF & so forth. YMMV.
