[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 20855, member: 144"] I suggest putting your (probably) 8 ohm loudpseaker over the 16 ohm secondary. That would halve the primary impedance, and it is always better to use the whole output transformer. (I hate these glibly provided taps - how are they executed winding-wise? Some commercial units send leakage reactance for a loop with some of the taps provided.) I have not looked up the Hammonds quoted. I hope they are otherwise suitable. I do not love Hammond regarding their secrecy about some essential specs. [/QUOTE]
