    I've always been curious what a Class A subwoofer would sound like.

    And @skem is quite right. You would need another house with the electrical demands this thing has. In 120V countries you would need to be able to accommodate 2 x 50A! Half that for 240v countries.

    Thats for thermal management. This thing dissapates 4.5kw of heat at peak. Only to be used in the land of ScanSpeak and Seas

    Literally was about to post that; a realistic goal for me.

    Anyway, since we're on the topic of VTA stuff:
