Multiple tap OT's??

Wiring 2 x 8 ohm speakers in series across the 16 ohm tap is what you are claiming to do.

Instead of shouting "wrong" and such, read more carefully what I said, try to comprehend what I said, and stop claiming what I do, ok?
Nobody with the slightest idea about speaker damping and best use of a 0-4-16 transformer would do it the way you claim me to do.

But since you seem to have not yet understood what I said earlier, I will give you a example:

Suppose we have a transformer optimized for a load of either 4 or 16 ohm (0-4-16)
The transformer has 2 equal secondary windings winding ratio is 10:1+1
Disregarding Rdc,Rac, coupling and other minor influences

you can connect one 8 ohm load to 0-4 and the other to 4-16

Now, what happens if you load with 2 x 4 ohm instead of 2 x 8?
Only fools go ad hominem like you have.
It's also not permitted on here.


Maybe you are struggling up there with English language in Finland, but it is you that hasn't understood.

Can you point me to anywhere where I suggested connecting TWO 4 ohm speakers to the TWO 4 ohm taps...??

I said nothing of the sort. I stated it would be TWO EIGHT OHM (see the figure 8?) to those 4 ohm taps.

After this point disregarding the entirely wrong and unreal argument that...
Disregarding Rdc,Rac, coupling and other minor influences
,

I can prove with oscilloscope, DAC, DAW, and with proven methodology, that those so called

minor influences
, are indeed very major influences on how a system sounds.

This is particularly true when you use 1 half winding for HF, and the other half for LF.

In this case the frequency dependent element becomes highly important and plays a role in the overall damping of the system.
As for the
stuff in your next comments, they are so utterly childish as to need no further comments. 😀
