Paralleling a choke/inductor/coil in the amps 4 ohms output will be less than 4 ohms and same thing to a voice coil of 4 ohms will be less than 4 ohms due to ohms law,then sound will be louder due to less resistance and more current.The only way to increase the impedance of the speaker is to put a coil/inductor in series with the voice coil,which of course it kills dynamics.
Thought on OTL tube amps
Just curious....how do these sound/perform compared to tube amps with transformers? Why do you prefer one or the other? Any particular brands of OTL amps you would recommend listening to? You can see my system on my tag here...listen mostly to rock and roll with a smattering of jazz and a bit of classical once in a while. The next stop on my amplifier adventure is an OTL model, and I have no intention of trading it for either SET I currently have, as I'm very happy with both. One of the ways I enjoy experimenting with different "sound" is by switching up the amps. Just trying to solicit some opinions, of which I know there are many strong ones here at A-Gon. Thanks in advance!
