RE: What does Wayne have to say about using the 16 Ohm J's

When he sent me the prototype board for the latest crossover a few years ago, we discussed that. All the values were changed to reflect the impedance with the caveat that there would be a very slightly consequential difference in the lobing characteristics of the driver.

Roger Modjeski of the RM-9/RM-200 amplifiers and other ground-breaking products, advises using the 4 ohm taps on his RM-10 amp into an 8 Ohm load to achieve significantly lower distortion and higher damping factor. Whether that is a general condition or unique to that amp I just don't know.

The P-P KT-88 monoblocs I'm trying to get finished will have 16 Ohm taps so then I'll have an answer. I hope to finish them before the end of May and perhaps schlep them to RibFest.
