Western electric used measurements, not calculations for their specs. That is what I did. Using a low distortion driver and very conservative output tranny means very low distortion which does not affect the outcome of the tests. Thus apples to apples.
If the design of the DHT amps could have low distortion, then they should have done it instead of continually hiding the specs.
The printed curves are very general and not nearly good enough to determine specs. Just a couple of mils off because of interpolation means the calculations are way off.
By the way, how did Western Electric drive the 300b to get the specs. with a low distortion driver circuit. That is what I did.
This is my last reply on the subject. Take care.
