More to the point, the original IV limiting using on the 405 was

loudspeakers!

I could write an article on the subject.

You mean something like the SCAMP (Society for Cruelty to AMPlifiers)
article in the Hi Fi News section of audiomisc.co.uk ? :-)


When I heard it, I was convinced. There was a nasty rasp in the upperish
midrange. When I modelled it I was STUNNED that ANY loudspeaker
manufactuere let alone EV would let loose a speaker with such wild load
phase angles.

Alas, SCAMP seems alive and well. :-)

Slainte,
