MOSFET


Anyone else prefer metal oxide silicon field effect transistor based amplifiers? Why?

To continue and correcting Kijanki, especially nowdays, bipolar transistors are substantially higher quality than a couple of decades ago. Hence most of advantages/disadvantages of bipolar transistors vs. MOSFETs disappear (especially for audio applications) such as
- higher bandwidth(no need to go onto MHz ranges I believe)
- more tolerant of difficult loads (never had been more tolerant than bipolar transistors that have substantially lower output impedance with common emitter connection)

Therefore the preference to MOSFET based power amplifier could only be for older vintage models.
