** Hmmm: from what I can find using Google, it's an E-core, multi-tapped
auto tranny in a box.

Ought to work OK with valve / tube guitar amps - but maybe not so well
with bass amps.

And a definite NO NO with solid state amps, cos the core will saturate at
low frequencies and overload the output transistors, something fierce.


I have a 50 Watt solid state amplifier that is rated at 75 Watts into 2.4 Ohms.
You seem to be saying that I can't use a "multi-tapped auto tranny" to deliver
75 Watts, how can I match an 8 Ohm speaker to 2.4 Ohms?
