[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 1102391, member: 34"] I don't know if this download might contain anything relevant to your quest, but it might be worth checking out: [url=https://info.triadmagnetics.com/lp-transformers-audio-sound-industries-ebook]https://info.triadmagnetics.com/lp-transformers-audio-sound-industries-ebook[/url]. FWIW, the best way to determine how well-suited a transformer is for a particular purpose is is to measure it in situ. (You essentially need to determine its transfer function, but this is complex problem to solve). You can use an auto-transformer to obtain voltage gain - true - but there is no free lunch: it will present a heavier load (i.e., lower impedance). If the a/t is multi-tap, the input impedance will be different for each tap-off. What I recommend is to zero in on the tap that gets you in the ballpark of what you need and then stick with that and treat the transformer-tweeter combo as an single/integrated component (which is the case for some ribbon tweeters). Good luck and please share your results here. [/QUOTE]
