Re: Google "damping factor"

Hi Lew,
You are correct, my apologies. You are also correct about the change in damping factor with the lower impedance. Assumming a damping factor of 10 then into an 8 ohm load (at 1Khz or so) then the output impedance would be about 0.8 ohm. Therefore the damping factor into 4 ohms would indeed be 5. As to the Apogees I own, they do indeed measure quite flat in impedance from 3.2-4.6 ohms most resistive. There won't be much variation then in the frequency response. Besides 0.8 ohm is no worse than most tube amps on the market. Again, thanks for the correction, I should have verified what I was saying.
