  • National GA950P speaker load?

    I've got this solid state National amp, but no idea what the minimum speaker load rating would be. It's not very loud into an 8 ohm cabinet, but I know that germanium amps tend to have low output power. I read that the 920P came with a six ohm cabinet, but don't know if that applies in any way.

    With its single +34V supply the amp might give something like 15W into 8R.
    A 4 Ohm load theoretically would almost double power, but also transistor and PT currents.

      Well, I'm feeling dumb. It says right in the parts list that the speakers are all 8 ohm. I'll ignore the horn for now and just use a 4 ohm load.
