Would not a fan based on heat sensing make more sense ?

Hi Russell I've sorted it now, changed how I was doing it, basically now a high gain NPN after two diodes from the left and right channels, with it connected to the base of a PNP(power), which controls the supply to the fan, with some caps and resistors in there to smooth fan operation out. Fan runs at varying speeds from 0.7v rms to 1.5v rms so thats quite nice. I was just confused why I couldn't search by Vbe ON/Saturated voltages, but I understand why now. Cheers, have a great weekend all.
