Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

The problem is ...

... the inductance of the output transformer primary varies over a wide range depending on frequency and signal level. The other problem is, the transformer losses (copper loss, eddy current loss, and core loss) are substantial enough that they must also be included if you are to calculate an accurate value for best bass extension.

For an active crossover, where you know there will be no deep bass, you can follow drsx's advice and set a first order highpass just low enough to not affect the crossover. You can even use that pole as part of the crossover.
