Not to uncommon for a design that WILL work of of line voltage to not show a
transformer even though it should have one. This may be in the verbal
description of the AMP. Also any High Power amp may have a couple of hundred
volts DC on the speaker terminals if there is componet failure. There should
be circuitry to prevent this.whether it is line isolated or not. Typically
the protection circuit CROWBARS the power supply blowing the fuse(s). Again
it is not uncommon for something like this to not be included in the draft
copy of an amp design.
