[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4135344, member: 550915"] Stinger and Veritas both used to market Accumatch impedance matching transformers. Once power became dirt cheap, the need for them became about zero. They were great when you were talking about having only 25-50 watts on a channel. The tranformer could be small and the small amount of power wouldn't saturate the core. More power means a larger transformer which means a higher inductance and all the ill effects on the signal that go along with that. If power is cheap and multicoil drivers are available that can let you wire to pretty much any impedance that you want, and a transformer big enough to work with the power available would trash the sound, why would you want one at that point?
