Just a note here. I've played with a few, and my observation is, you can't reliably predict the sound of a transformer at this impedance level unless you can actually hear it. Neither measurements nor price are a reliable indicator. I've found one that was great and very cheap, some that are crap and moderately expensive, and some that are very sweet and fairly expensive. (The great cheap one was a guitar amp unit which I got from Angela many years ago; it's been gone from their catalog for many years now. Too bad!)

Either hear them yourself, or consider any forum comments very carefully. You may want to start cheap enough that you can upgrade later if you should fine something special.

Most of you know I'm a Bottlehead and a parafeed enthusiast. Do consider parallel feed as an option, if you should run across a suitable transformer.
