"One set of output transistors is not enough to drive real world speakers that usually have a load of 4 ohms. I use to have a Michael Yee Audio amp that was 100 watts also with one set of output transistors. This amp could not drive real loads."Maybe the amp wasn't *intended* to be used with difficult loads...
In fact, I think **very** few amps handle such loads well... (The ones designed for such applications often sound sterile.)
You can just as easily criticize the design of speakers that pose a tough load on amplifiers...
I'd rather find the right speakers for an amplifier that lacks ultimate current drive capability than find the right amplifier for a pair of tough-to-drive speakers.
