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

"It does not matter if your speaker does not go down to 31.25 Hz or not. If you are sending low frequency information to the amplifier, the amplifier will make the plate voltage move. If the plate voltage moves, the tube must spend bias current to charge and discharge the primary inductance as well as the actual primary load impedance. If the plate voltage or current "clips" because of low frequency plate excursions, the sound will suffer. "

"With 27 H, the load line is nasty. With a 27 H primary if there is any low frequencies making it from the preamp to the output transformer, I would expect the sound to be a bit nasty too. "

The practical implications for me; I just placed the high pass filter cap back in series with the input to my SET amp that drives my midrange (and tweeter) that only plays to 200Hz.

Thanks again Mike.
