Good man! Simplify, simplify, simplify. ;>)

Again I ask, how far do you want to go? For instance, console amps frequently have undersized O/P transformers, which leads to poor bass extension. Within the 5 WPC capability of SE 6BQ5s, better performance can be realized by installing Edcor GXSE15-8-5K O/P "iron". Global negative feedback (GNFB) will ensure "full" bandwidth is obtained. A 15 W. part is chosen to ensure that core saturation (very, very, bad) from a deep bass error correction signal does not occur. BTW, the Edcor "iron" would allow for experimentation with both full pentode and ultra-linear (UL) mode O/P tubes.
