An interesting option to get higher power with just one output pair

Hi i am not an expert ... but i read a lot
I like hugely the single output pair philosophy
But, as you say, is difficult to get high power
Another thing that i like is quasi complementary designs, where the output pair is formed by two identical NPN, more robust transistors i understand
At Sanken they have in their catalog NPNs up to 200 W
You should get around 100W as max power out of a pair of them, more or less
My perfect amp has a pair of these NPNs at the output
I do not think it already exists anyway
If i would like more SPLs i would act on the speakers side, not on the amp side
Because i have read that paralleling output pairs usually ends up with a less refined sound, altough more powerful, of course
Another case where power corrupts



Kind regards,
bg
