Plate load triode amp, resistive load in bafle.

Hi at all.
IF i have an DHT triode amp with 3K : 8ohms output transformer.

And If i have a compression driver working since 2.5kz with 8ohms curve and also a 5 ohms resistor in series.
The plate load change with a 8 ohms driver , and the additionaly 5 ohms series resistor ?

Or this resistor does not change the load that the plate tube see since 2.5kz ?

The series resistor Influences in some way ?

At frequencies where the compression driver impedance is purely resistive, just add the two resistance values.

At frequencies where the driver is reactive (RL, RC, L, C, or RLC) the driver impedance is complex, so it is more complicated to calculate the total series impedance of the driver and the series resistor.
