Hi,
Yes the amp uses about 8db of negative feedback. Damping factor is simply the inverse of the output impedance I believe, therefore, it is independent of the load attached to it. However, it can vary with frequency so I think it is usually specified at something like 1Khz or 100Hz. I will try them first without the autoformers, if i like what I hear (I have already heard them with "easier" speakers so I know they are damn good) then I will probably reduce the feedback and see if that still gives enough power. If not then I will try the autoformers as I would like to run with little to no feedback (definitely possible with the autoformers and why the work so well with zero feedback Atamspheres).
