yes, I don't doubt that it rolls off

But I have to assume that it still represents a load at 20KHz. Have you done any measurements of just the bass transformer at that frequency?

The reason I ask is if there is self inductance, then its impedance should be going sky high if its not influencing the impedance at 20KHz. But all I have ever seen of ESLs is that impedance goes down as frequency increases. That really suggests to me that while the transformer may not be making any output, its still loading the amp and for no good purpose unless you like heat. Am I way off the mark??
