Note that MOSFETs don't have secondary break-down effects, hence EPDR is not nearly as critical for FET output stages. They don't mind high instantaneous power.

When did you last look at a MOSFET SoA plot? Its true that going back 30 years or more they generally didn't have secondary breakdown issues but these days its rare to find an SoA plot which is purely thermally limited.
Like the Halcro Eclipse with its incredible specs ; 110kg/250 pounds, 135,000$

We had a friend that knew Bruce Candy and had the DM88 monoblocks, he used them with Wilson 6, 7 and 8’s, they were "nice and transparent" and could go loud, but a bit ho-hum, kinda boring, no life to the music, nothing that grabbed your attention and or emotions.

No it’s quite, but at least there not too much voodoo there like here, lots of snake oil peddlers here, a bit of undercover shilling going on for small manufacturers, their threads can eventually get removed or closed.
