In the Lab #03 — The Cost of One More Amp

Pushing another amp through a system rarely scales linearly.
Copper losses rise, switching edges sharpen, EMI creeps in, and suddenly mechanical constraints become electrical ones.

This iteration explored where efficiency gains stop being worth the added complexity — and where a simpler, slower, more robust solution outperforms a “clever” one. Sometimes restraint is the real optimization.
