On 811's ........

my amp uses 3 811's and it will do 400 no problem as for full output 600 is realistic.

the 811H I had would only do about 800-850.
you could push it to 900-925 but to me it wasn't worth the chance of hurting it. at the time i had a clipperton that had 572s with an extra set on the shelves and swapped them for the 811's and saw right at 1k. i ran mine at around 700 just to keep it clean and nobody noticed on the other end. when i ran it to 900 by cranking the voltages up some, my neighbors started calling.
hope this helps....

If you want big power then get another amplifier. The whole point of this amplifier is to get your signal in the same ballpark as a legal limit amplifier, but without the expense or power requirements.

At 800 watts PEP it's only down about 1/2 S-unit from a legal limit amplifier, but you don't have to rewire your shack for 220VAC.

I bought mine for the reasons above. I have no idea what it's maximum ouput is because I've never tried to reach it.
