In Reply to: Tri-amping T IV-A's with tubes? posted by AkuAnkka on November 17, 2024 at 08:45:52:
I actively tri-amped my IIIAs (and their replacement ... my 'Frankenpans' - which used T-IVA mid panels and ribbons) for 25 years without using a series cap on the ribbons. I didn't blow a ribbon, ever - although it should be noted I was using ss amps which had a lot more power than you are thinking of! (120w into 4 ohms - and built to be able to drive 2 ohms!)
I think driving even 3 ohm ribbons with a tube amp would be non-optimal; perhaps you should use 'autoformers'?
