   Actually, as long as you are speaking in very loose generalizations, that   
   and the subsequent statements are true.   
      
   ** Every single one is  **completely false**.   
      
      What planet do you live on ??   
      
      
   Whether you accept the conclusion drawn from it is another matter.  I hardly   
   think however, that his reply is worthy of the derision you inflict.   
      
   ** Yes it was -  the OP is a notorious TROLL.   
      
      
   Of course there are transformers that don't roll of starting at 8k, but look   
   at the iron used in most 50's and 60's hifi stuff, and you'll see that this   
   guy isn't too far off the mark.   
      
      
   ** Not  YOU  go look  -  smartarse  !!   
      
   FYI:   
      
   The frequency response of a bare " hi-fi " output transformers extends out   
   to around 100kHz and down to under 1Hz at low power levels.  The amplifier   
   does not correct the transformer and there is little or no change in the   
   damping factor (DF) over the audio band in most cases.   
      
   Eg.   
      
   A 1950s designed Quad 2 has a completely flat frequency response and the   
   same DF ( ie 12 ) over the range from 6Hz to 30kHz.
