[QUOTE="CoequeCrype, post: 6593038, member: 618206"] If you plan on building up some higher power amps, go for the pParts Express loads, they should be more than adequate for 99.9 of all test requirements. The smaller and less expensive 8 ohm, 25W resistors should be fine for lower power testing, or short-term higher power. Theyre probably "inductive"which doesnt metter except for precise instrument testing. For dummy load usage, theyre perfectly good. For higher power, a simple series-parallel arrangement will work. For 4 ohms, use 2 in parallel, for 16 ohms, two in series, etc... /ed B in NH [/QUOTE]
