Back in the 60s my company built amps to power Westrex cutter heads (vinyl masterng) using 807s and/or 1625s. Suckers weighed almost 400 lbs with power supply

On the other extreme; How about a hi-gain, multi-stage, push-pull, all tube amp that's no bigger than the average stomp box?

How about a 1watt amp that is efficient to within 95%?

Something nice and small that could gig a stadium.

Or just to be perverse, bung some of these in an amp
