Radiospares "de luxe" OT in an 18watter

Any thoughts how would sound a heavily oversized transformer like the de luxe hooked at 6.6k into a standard 18w TMB circuit?

Not very convincingly. Probably flat and brittle.

But w/ 6V6's on the 8K taps or EL84's on the 9K taps it might sound nice.

Try it and tell us!

The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp :wink:

Why should it sound flat and brittle at 6.6K? Shouldn't the lower primary impendance affect only the clean headroom and volume?
