Thank you gentlemen for your expertise. A few things were of particular interest in the replies. One was the concept that field coil speakers might offer some advantage at low levels. Admittedly, I listen at very modest levels, and so I might appreciate just such an advantage.
The remarks about OTL's were also interesting, as I am just beginning to learn about them. For clarity of concepts, I will post some follow up questions in the forum separately.
I do have a new question about field coil speakers.
Assuming I obtain all the correct specifications as per the schematics, could there be any advantage in driving the speakers with less voltage or less current than orginially specified?
Do field coil speaker owners tinker (downward) with these adjustments, and if so, how do they affect the sound?
