I have a 100W globe style bulb attached to a simple 2-way dimmer.
The thing

about the higher speed switching techniques involved, and I also
know about the wave
deforming that some do. But is there not something foolproof? Seems

something that should have been solved by now.

Thanks

Its the bulb, try different styles. A lower watt should buzz less.

I need a lot of light here, so I have it at 100W and it is *barely*
enough, in my opinion.

Further, some bulbs will be worse than others I'm sure, but I'm
looking for a solution that hopefully doesn't muck the waveform into
something that makes filaments want to flap around.

Blow The Style Police - put in a strip light - that will function!
Though you will see all the creases that age has brought on ... and the
faults in decorating the room!
