This will be part of your heating system for your home, I presume. You will need some kind of medium to store the heat during summer to use it in the winter. Have you designed that yet?

Holy cow. Are you also going to need a dedicated 30 amp circuit for it?

Gotta watch out and make sure it doesn't make my wall AC sag LOL (just kidding, should only draw around 2A).

I am going to need it the way it's been snowing around here! Been buried for a month straight.

That explains the 80mm Noctua NF-A8 snow blowers. But I was speaking of summer...

They need heat in Ohio in the summer too.

After some conversations, I am also fully back on board the ridiculous HK54 / 35T / 35TG class A2 amplifier design. Very much a long term project, but I am gonna keep collecting these old triodes and plan for it. With the parts order for the new OTL, going to grab a pair of 5V 50W SMPS to run the filaments of the HK54. Using a switching filament supply drastically reduces the pain of running a 5V 5A DHT filament, doing it with a linear supply would be a real challenge. Right now my design uses around 25dB local NFB, makes about 15W at 0.5% THD in simulation.

I have a dedicated 30a for my sound system, cuz I believe in...

Hey @L0rdGwyn , what is this thing and what does it do? You may recognize it from the capacitor board in the Darkvoice that I'm finally getting around to.

That's a bridge rectifier. It rectifies!

LOL! Thanks!

LOL! Thanks!

Or, if you short it out, it rectumfries.

Hahahaha...very clever!

Being wild and crazy seems to come natural to you. Me, I enjoy the ride.

Some people opt for cliff jumping or skydiving... @L0rdGwyn goes for extreme amp building!

So here is the final design I made for a logo. Going to put it on the transformer can, It's a painted metal badge basically, with a black edge and magnetic backing. $11.00. Easily worth it. just add a little extra visual pop on the Airmid.

Here is what I am doing with the 6336 OTL chassis. The 40mm heat sinks are in yellow, without them the chassis is 11" x 17.5" x 3.25", they add about 1.5" on each side. To fit the rear heat sink, moved the IEC inlet and RCA inputs to the top panel. Will cram two toroids inside a iron transformer shield, in blue. Not sure of the color yet, might do it in all black, in keeping with the severe look of the heat sinks.

Might as well call this amp The Radiator, that's what it's going to look like lol reminiscent of the Pass Labs Aleph 3.
