Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: if money wasn't a consideration...

"Putting a 32 ohm load on a 16 ohm tap is like trying to drive 80 miles an hour in 3rd gear."

Okay, forget I ever said that. I'm not going to do that.

If I try series it will be breaking up the four into two pairs, in series, at 16ohms. I will run it off the 16ohm tap of my OPT. I would need one stereo amp for each of the two horns. That is, one output tube per 16ohm pair.

I've been reading up on the resonant frequency issue.

More importantly I finally remembered the technical argument for the higher impedence, like 16ohms. I want to research it a little more, before I get into deep water with you. :)

Thanks for all your help.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
