In Reply to: optimum speaker impedance for existing OTL designs? posted by topogon on September 4, 2005 at 02:56:12:
Most Futtermans are happy with 50 ohm loads, as are Circlotron based OTLs. In general for a given number of output tubes a Circlotron based OTL will have about half the output impedance of a Futterman based design. Efficiency will still play a role, but developing power with a speaker that is over 30 ohms is not too hard. So if you can do 60 ohms I would go for it.If you decide to use 6336 tubes, make sure each individual tube section is seperately fuse protected!
