What, read the x1 scale, rather than the x10 scale? I would never admit to a dumb mistake like that.
Well, OK. More like 20V p-p or 7-8V rms, for more like about 4 watts.

The test setup, such as it was… Readings taken from the transformer output ( a Lundahl 1623, Connected as 5.6k -16 ohms). Into a 16 ohm non inductive dummy load.

I use this setup so I can connect to friends, 8 ohm speakers.

So, after you so kindly pointed out the gross errors. I see that I need a bit more voltage swing on the driver. I will work on raising Va next.

Thanks for your dB refresher course, I guess it’s "use it or lose it" …. Or what was the question again ? ...John
