   Paul D. Spiegel to All   
   Using two taps of OT secondary

   A common configuration for an output transformer secondary (a la Dynaco)   
   is C-4-8-16.  The four ohm tap is roughly the mid-point of secondary.   
      
   If you connect one 4 ohm load from C-4 and then another 4 ohm load from   
   4-16, what would the overall load look like to the output stage?  Would   
   it make a difference if you ground the 4 ohm tap instead of C?   
      
   This could be an interesting way to bi-wire a speaker.   
      
   What do RATs think?
