• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

Low impedance helps at the high end but at the low end you need iron, and even more of it when it is a amorphous core. Ask yourself, is 35W single ended doable with amorphous core, reasonable dcr-losses, and a transformer weigth of 2.5kg? In my experience, no. But, it could be a very good mid-highband transformer with the 8 ohm output. Would need a subwoofer, but could be worth a try....

That is the issue here: bandwidth. I use the Chinese 3.5 K amorphous double C-core transformer for 120 - 1,000 Hz midrange, and am very happy with the result.
