[SixClub] Question on Amplifier

[Steve Katz]

My answers would be:
 
1500W PEP (plenty, and the U.S. legal limit)
 
25W drive (commonly available from almost any kind of rig)
 
And tube type, not solid state.
 
Thankfully, I have one like that: It's my homebrewed 4-1000 grid-driven amp which has been in service since May 1984 with the same tube, that will probably outlive me.  It hits 1 kW output with 15W drive in AB1.  The power supply isn't built-in, it's a separate 165 lb unit that sits on the floor.  But it's cheap, easy to build with available parts, and there's a lot of 4-1000's around as pulls that work fine.
