His supposed lack of knowledge is on occasion belied by his direct and inquisitive line of questioning. He doesn't seem to have any knowledge or direct experience with the circuits you were inquiring about unless it suits him so take everything with a grain of salt. Please see the related posts on HiEff Forum.

That's not a very nice thing to say.
Max was a part of the first thread you reference, and in fact I mentioned him and his post by name, because I said I was giving "the other side of the coin" from his post. I assume he read the rest of that thread, but I may be wrong.
"He doesn't seem to have any knowledge or direct experience with the circuits"
I am self taught, and people who are self taught have huge gaps in their knowledge base. I didn't start learning high-end or electronics till later in life, when you have a lot of competition for your free time. I apologize to the learned people here for asking newbie questions. I know just enough to be dangerous, and I have the imagination to turn that into very dangerous.
The sad fact is, I know there are a lot of very knowledgable people reading this who I bet have an opinion about running a SET amp with a 32ohm OPT, but they will never post it, because of people like you.
That's a crying shame.
"take everything with a grain of salt."
To be sure!!!

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
If I had 32 ohm speakers or if I was trying to take advantage of that transformer's ratio to load an odd tube I would use it.
Otherwise your posts sound like a troll. You try to re-word the same statement (not question) in order to advance your theory. Troll-like behavior. If that's not the case and you are just trying to get info then ask questions and enjoy the answers you get.
The sad fact is that you have received opinions from some knowledgeable people here (I'm not counting myself in that group)and give the impression that you know differently. Good luck with that.
"you have received opinions from some knowledgeable people here ... and give the impression that you know differently."
That's become a common theme on the DIY forum as well. Many good people have left as a result of the confrontations it causes.

I don't think our friendly banter about the Chinese has ever risen to confrontation. I don't see the problem.
I did write a diatribe, but that is because some people say things very glibly, that I take deadly seriously, because I actually have had someone try to destroy me. A couple of times I've had punk 18 yr old white kids say, "I'll shoot you in the face motherf@#$er!" They don't know how close they come...
Chip seemed to think it was okay.

Kyle,
Here is another fairly simple question for you. You said I reword things to make a point, but let us consider this the Socratic Method.
If you had a free built to spec 2a3 SET amp, and a free built to spec paper wide range driver. What impedence would you choose?
I would choose 16ohm into 16ohm. If you ask me to justify that I could give you my reasons, but I'm not saying I could quote chapter and verse out of an engineering manual. I tell you my choice up front, so you don't think I'm BSing you.

I get it. You think I started this thread to win an argument on the HE forum? You think I'm stupid?
This is the subject that has been on my mind. I could care less about Tannoy Reds and 16ohm wide range drivers. I was trying to help the OP of that thread, which I guess I failed at.

Oh, that's a simple answer to a fairly simple question. Which is what I was looking for.
Thanks.

This is a public forum right? I certainly do have my opinions about things. Just because someone is an engineer, doesn't mean they have better taste than me. Then again they might, and be an EE. That would be cool. I appreciate every response I've gotten to all of my posts. I very much appreciate Max for killing a day explaining wiring to me. I hope I use some of his information in my project. I know I will. I hope his project goes well.
The sad fact is, that I've had eight years of reading this forum and not responding to anything bottled up inside me, and now I joined, and I'm afraid I'm going to spew out all the crazy, esoteric, minutae that I've always wanted to know about, but was too afraid to ask. That's a literary reference.
When I spew it, the floor may get messy. You may want to watch your shoes.
I really intend to just ignore trolls, but since you are my first, I thought I'd give a little explanation.
