Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Completely agree with Tre'...

'Of course, as you know, with the SET amp connected to a tweeter through a passive crossover the impedance of that load at the lower frequencies will be very high and the SET will not be doing any "work" at the lower frequencies to start with.'

No, I don't agree with that one.

For starters, the intermediate stage(s) will not see the low frequency impedance of the speakers and be amplifying the complete signal w/o any change.

Secondly, I have a hard time thinking the output tube would not be amplifying everything it sees on the plate. Especially in configurations like parafeed. Best case lower frequencies will be amplified at a lower gain.

The amp will most certainly benefit greatly from low frequencies deleted from the input.

Look, I'm not trying to build darth vader spaceship here. I'm looking for a simple solution to get a bit of a bump in sound. That's all.
