Have to agree. Normally those guys make a great comedy team, but in this case, they simply state the obvious. So bonus points for that!

I think that they are fun to watch sometimes. They threw a good bs flag on that one.

Hugo Rivera looks like he's the one who takes out the trash around that joint! - Great Scott, indeed!

sounds like push-pull parallel power amplifier topology -- two active devices, in parallel, pushin' and two more, in parallel, pullin'.

EDIT: Less likely, but still possible -- four paralleled output devices operating single-ended.

Ever see an OTL vacuum tube amplifier?

Since the plates on a power output triode tube want to be loaded by a pretty high impedance, it takes -- a lot of output tubes in parallel to avoid using an output transformer as an impedance-matching device. :- )

oh ok, so I think I need some of those for my vintage German sub
