Hi Jamie,I have two comments on the above analogy
1. consider that this analogy avoids one fact
Volts = speed of truck
Amps = weight of load
Ohms = height of hillPlay with the three variables and you will see Nothing is to be gained by changing
One, as they all depend on each other if the same amount of work is to be performed. (Power over a period of time)If joe can carry four cement blocks to the top of a 10 foot hill in the same time it takes steve to carry two blocks up a 20 foot hill, is there any difference in how much work the two guys did?
2. Yes using any device as less than its rated capacity may extend it's life, but then why not just use a smaller one, you aren't getting very good value.
3. Radiohead was the first album I played through my 2A3 amplifier - really brings them to life!
