Just got a Scout 20 made by S O S in Memphis awhile back. I think it has 4 driving 4. Right now I am running it using a Grant XL at 2 watts swinging 12. and it will do 500 to 650 depending on how high of a channel I am on. Told if I drove it harder I could get more watts out but Im worried this would smoke the tubes faster. What do you guys think about this amp and how hard should I drive it. Thanks

Anything more than 4 or 5 watts is pushing any low drive linear, Just my opinion, Just ask my palomar 500. It lasted me 2 years,(more than any linear has), But,one evening I left the variable power up on my 2950dx & it blew the power supply in the palomar 500 in about 10 key downs.
