Hi:

I recently acquired 4-ohm speakers and re-wired my SE 45 amp to use the
4-ohm OPT tap. There's an autoformer on the home audio market that
effectively multiplies the load your amp "sees" by 2x, 3x or 4x.

Is it possible or even likely, that my system could sound "better" using
this autoformer and re-wiring the OPT impedance tap to 8 or 16 ohms? I
realize this question may be more complex than it sounds (many variables).

I have a VERY simple, but high quality system. The thought of running my
signal through a large coil of wire (the autoformer) is not that appealing,
but if it could sound better...

P.S. I know I could just add a resistor, but that has it own set of
problems.
