That is what I suspected.

I used to own a homemade 2x 813 amp, which I had bought from someone else. It looked like it dated back to the fifties, and it used a common ground point. Truth be told I never managed to get the efficiency up very high, not even at low frequencies. Since then I have always built my amps 'VHF style', no matter the frequency, and have been pleased with the results.

We aren't really talking about technique at this point. I will let Oskar chime in here if he has something to add.

That must be the understatement of the week.
