[QUOTE="thch, post: 1059217, member: 562032"] transformer coupled -- you change the 4ohm speaker to look like an 8ohm speaker, thus DF isn't as horrendously affected by changing speakers. of course neither is power. my original post said something along the lines that tube amps typically have a low DF, and yet sound good to a lot of people. but i decided that was probably going to spark off a tube amp vs solid-state debate rather then focus on real issue of amplifier output imedance and its ability or lack thereof to control a speaker. i'm just waiting for the tube vs ss to start anyways... i too like technical discussions.
