I know this is probably an obvious question. If tubes works way above almost all speaker impedance and a speaker varies from a dead short to 20 ohms (8 ohm speaker) when it moves causing distortion, why can't you just have a huge resistor inline? I was just figuring a 800 ohm tube 792 ohm resistor with 8ohm speaker varies around 792 to 812 thats around 2.5% of variation which would cause that a nearly fixed sound response from the tube right and, tuning to a fixed response could mean the perfect amp? I was just thinking.
