I was mistaken,it was a Peavey and it was a 40 watt trafo and I was running a pair of KT66s and it at about 25 watts and it made some good numbers but you had to play with FB.I know what you are saying tho because guitar transformers typically don't have any bandwidth to speak of.
Now,there are some nice audio amps that Peavey makes that does have some nice iron and they sound absolutely incredible once you upgrade and mod them a bit.The 120/120 classic,is one that is very impressive.There are others that have heard this amp and will agree.I've rebuilt and upgraded three of these and they make 105wpc at full bandwidth.You can make 120 if you run KT88s and the power trafos handle them just fine.
