Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

I've never used them. The transformers merely change the impedance...

...the amp drives, I think to double or triple. So if you have a speaker that varies from 2 to 10 Ohms, it'll now vary from 4 to 20 or 6 to 30.

Sometimes amps are more able to drive different impedances with flatter frequency responses than other impedances. If one had plenty of power available, I suppose I'd try the lowest-impedance output taps into a substantially higher-impedance transformer/speaker load. I THINK you'll get the highest damping factor and the flattest frequency response that way.

But maybe someone who KNOWs rather than I who am merely speculating will help here.
