Hello Tre:

you wrote;

"The higher the load impedance the less power your will get but the distortion will be lower."

"The lower the load impedance the more power you will get but the distortion will be higher."


with tetrodes\pentodes the above is not true... in that case the generalization is that the lower the impedance the lower the third with a rising second harmonic.... but since it is push pull the second harmonic is largely cancelled by the output transformers primary.

There is a thread currently running about the 47 tube and there was a link to the data sheet... which clearly shows the relationship stated above.
