Re: Some amps will oscillate without a load

DanL,

It is not feedback per se, but the incorrect use of feedback, that causes problems. As for damping requirements, the speaker needs dictate the damping requirements. In the case of the Altecs I mentioned, they were over damped to begin with so a low damping factor was desirable. Modern small box speakers tend to need (and are designed assuming) high damping from the amplifier.
