HI Martin,
Thanks for your post. My understanding is that while a tube amp (liek a SET) needs speakers like my hoembrews, an SS amp wth a high damping factor can handle underdamped and overdamped speakers. In other words, thereis no need to tailor the damping factor for an SS amp.
PLease feel free to correct me.BTW, I don't have a resistor in parallel with the speaker in my homebrews. The circuit (C1) is an inductor with a resistor in parallel with the inductor. ALso, i have a supertweeter with a 6 db crossover in parallel with the C1-woofer combination.
thanx
