Consider a loudspeaker with a flat 8 ohm impedance and flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (no snickering) when connected to the 8-ohm tap of the amplifier mentioned below.Said loudspeaker is connected to the 4 ohm tap of a very high quality, transformer-coupled tube amplifier (with, let's say, near-zero output impedance). What is the effect on the output frequency response of the speaker (compared to the base case above)?
An identical loudspeaker is connected to the 16 ohm tap of an identical amplifier. How does the output frequency response of the speaker now compare to the base case?
Extra credit for any amplifying (no pun intended) discussion.
all the best,
