I'm confused... did everybody miss this class

Gang,
First off... You cannot look at 1/2 the solution to find the entire argument. You must concentrate on the entire system and how it works.
This is not a new argument, this was done by the entire engineering community more than 60 years ago.
Why now do you think that you have stumbled onto something new?
Douglas dragged me into this and I made this point in an email I just sent him.

Douglas,
First you cannot look at PP as 1/2 of the equation then add the other. You have to look at it as a total system. You could do it your way if you did dual SET amplifiers with common B+ and parallel secondaries.
BUT.... in that relationship the tubes are not running on 1/4 of the impedance because the primaries are not in parallel, they are totally seperate.
There is just a ton of writing on this Douglas. I don't think you going to change the minds of 1000 of engineers who wrote about this for years.
This is the way it works, live with it.

Well I got work to do...
Thanks
Gordon
