Rogue Atlas Output Transformer

I'm curious about the design of the secondary windings and wonder if heavier gauge wire is in the four ohm section, or if multiple windings are used.

Also, my hunch is that the Paradigm Studio Reference 100.2 may be better coupled using the 4 ohm tap. Mine play plenty loud (105dB +) with solid bass. IIRC, they dip below 4 ohms at a couple points.

Hope this post is in the right spot with two questions. Thanks for any help.

The wire you see inside the chassis is hookup wire that's soldered to completely different wire inside the transformer (enameled wire referred to as "magnet wire").

Yes, those Paradigms should be on the 4 ohm tap.
