No. You could battery power a gainclone just as easy (actually, easier) than a SET amp. A couple of lead/acid batteries would give you +/-12V. With the LM3875, that would give you about 5W. Series a couple of batteries for +/-24V, and you would get about 28W. Plenty for a HE loudspeaker. This would also give you the power for an active crossover, as well. You could use car batteries, or the smaller sealed types from Panasonic (Parts Express has them). The current demands from the amps driving HE speakers would be fairly small, and you would probably get several days at least between charges, if you listen a lot.
