Does this mean you didn't read the article by Dick Pierce on Damping
factor?

For an expalnation of why damping factor is a pretty meaningless
specification, I refer you to:
http://www.diyspeakers.net/Articles/...G%20FACTOR.pdf


I just glanced over the article, and it seems that what Richard Pierce
writes about isn't in contradiction with what I wrote.

No, he just said it with fewer words. :-)


Umm......unless I'm missing some secret message in the above article,
we're discussing different things.

Meanwhile, I've read the article thoroughly, and I agree entirely with
the analysis made by Richard Pierce.
However, the article is about (the influence of an amp's output
impedance on) speaker behaviour.
My post was about the methods of obtaining (high) damping factors in
an amplifier.

I still think my and mr. Pierce's thoughts aren't contradictory, as
we're speaking about different things, while both using the common
term "damping factor" .
