Re: Using transformers to up the Q of extended range drivers .....


Say you actually put a 32 Ohm resistor in series with the driver ...
So you have a 40 Ohm load ....
Couldn't you have a 5 to 1 voltage stepup and maintain 8 Ohm
@ the primary ?

What, you mean use a 32 ohm resistor AND a 1:5 step up transformer (actually it would need to be a 1:2.24 as transformers transform impedance as the square of the turns ratio)?

If so, why? Why would you want the amp to see 8 ohms instead of 40 ohms?
