I don't think the 400 power supply is capable of that. What I know for sure is a stock 700 with a neutral tranny(100+/-DC rails) will do 736 per and up. With a hot tranny god only knows.

Now remember these are the absolute max ratings, I would not advertise them as continous. For that to happen we would have to add a few more outputs per side and 2-3 times mire heat sinking WITH FORCED AIR COOLING.

I was referring to the 315 doubled so 630 per side theoretically possible? Can a bigger tranny be used. I have a few monster sized ones in the garage. How about the big Drakes?

Heat is the real issue yes, especially with a 4 finner. I wondered about mounting two small computer fans on the top plate since that's the only place they would fit. I do have a 8" clip on fan on the back of the entertainment stand blowing directly on the WOPL when I feel like putting the gas to her though. Wish there was a 8 fin conversion plate of some sort. It's never gotten so hot that I can't touch the sinks but they have been pretty warm a few times

I love the way they look on the inside. That's when amps were amps, I think the 70s was the era of the coolest looking equipment, not only sounding good but the huge intimidation factor! I look at Dennis' and Lee's walls of power and drool!

I like the look and more importantly the sound of this. Has an intimidating quality to it and not made in the 70's......







I'll be sticking with this one until I can save up enough money to get a treasure from Lee and see how they stack up against each other......

The WOPL topology has withstood 110 volt rails for days non-stop, so theoretically , yes a doubling of the 8 ohm rating is possible with the right tranny, more output pairs and forced cooling.

I'm glad we don't have Google Adsense as every time hot tranny was mentioned in a thread on our Usenet old radio group back in '99 or so they would come up with hot tranny porn :shock: :happy7: :sign6:

I guess thats why the 1801 has the monster 42lb transformer.

Yes they started strong with those pieces. Too bad they went the way they did. They discontinued the 1800 a few years back. Would still love to try a Series VI 1800. My cousin has a Series II 1800. Pretty much the same as an 1801 with a different front end.
