In Reply to: Any interest in a 32 ohm speaker? posted by Duke on May 2, 2014 at 13:45:47:
The S-30 goes to about 50 watts with 32 ohms.
The M-60 is about 77 watts- puts out 80 in to 16 ohms.
32 ohms would have tremendous advantage in terms of reducing distortion from the amp if the amp is able to drive the load; Fisher used to make an amp with 32 ohm taps on its output transformers.
In out amps the output tubes will also run cooler and last longer- the amp will actually draw less power from the wall as well. The speaker cable would be really non-critical too.
BTW we gotta guitar amp chassis that could do with a 32 ohm load- two 10" in an open back cabinet would be nice.
