Since SET amps tend to have very nonflat frequency

I've already dismissed that with the contempt it deserves. Once again,
Krueger, you aren't talking to people who have to hog out the tube to
the maximum power because they bought "normal speakers". You are
talking to people who routinely run a 40W Pdmax tube loaded with such a
high impedance that it puts out less than 4W into speakers that will
never, ever, demand a whole watt. Get it through your thick head that
not all devices have to be run at maximum power; that applies only to
the poor who have no choice but solid state.

Lovely !

I guess you don't realise that *power levels* have *NOTHING WHATEVER* to do with frequency response abberations caused by a SET's highish output impedance.

Once again you have despicably cut the context in your attempt to score
a dishonest point, or it may just be that that you are totally ignorant
of tube electronics or deficient in understanding plain English.

Yes I do cut to the point. I'm not interested in your interminable off-topic rambling. The point above was specific and related to frequency response. You
answered by means of an 'in-line' reply. It was therefore so trimmed.

I note that in your 'big fight' post you have made the same error of suggesting that power levels are somehow connected with frequency response yet again.

Worse still is thus utter cretinous **** that follows !

"There is no problem making an SE amp as flat as necessary even without NFB. You just choose sensitive speakers and then load up the impedance on the plate until
its response is flat "

Utter garbage through and through.

There is *NO* relationship between speaker sensitivity and flat frequency response whatever.

You clearly don't know the first damn thing about the reflected impedance on the primary. It's not constant you moron ! It's a factor of the load - not some
fixed value on a transformer datasheet. A speaker's *nominal impedance* is indeed *nominal*. For a single 8 ohm driver it likely varies from ~ 5 ohms to 100
ohms across the audio band.

You are a posturing know-nothing jerk-off with an overdevolped attention seeking personality. Your knowledge of electronics is shockingly abysmal. No wonder you
come to bizarre conclusions.
