Thanks for the info.  I was  actually  thinking of the space  reduction  one
gets in going from a linear to switching  power supply as being analogous to
linear   versus   switching   power  amps.  Thus,  audio  power  amps  could
theoretically be much smaller than their linear cousins.  My interest was in
a home project resulting in a SMALL, HEFTY power amplifier.  Oh Well.  Guess
I'll just start looking at old Audio Amatuer magazines...

I hadn't thought of them being used in AM  transmitters,  but of course that
WOULD be logical.

Thanks for the responses!
