Hi, Can anyone help here? I want to bi-amp my Leslie 122A. It is one of the new ones: 40 watt tube amp, 16 ohm 2-Way Leslie Crossover, 12 dB per octave; 800 Hz, 100 watt ferro-fluid horn driver and 16 Ohm 100 watt woofer. I would like to get all 40 watts to the horn driver. I'll be powering the woofer through both a separate crossover and tube amp. My question is as follows: I thought about placing a 16 Ohm 25 Watt Power resistor as a surrogate load substitute in place of the original
16 Ohm woofer, However, I do not know what a purely resistive load to the original Leslie crossover will make the HF Driver sound like?how smooth or shrill it may become. However, I'm concerned that the amplifier will see a different load due to the change from a reactive load (original woofer) to a crossover loaded half reactive and half resistive. Any suggestions as to what to what I should use as a surrogate load in place of the woofer and still maintain the status quo would be much appreciated. Thank-you. Sincerely, Trevor- posted
