Pretty cool dream. The problem is that FCC regulations won't let  
manufacturers create amplifiers with this much gain. If you do the  
calculations on their values, you get something around 50 watts  
required to drive a gallon or so. These regulations really aren't eased  
under the current proposals, so don't look for an amp from anyone that  
can drive 1.5KW from 10mW or even 15 watts.

But, it is a great dream...

I'd also like one that can sit on the floor and not any cooling...
Doggone alarm clock. Time to wake up...  :-) :-)
