I read your write up on using R/C to replace a transformer, and I understand how this would work for a I.F. transformer or interstage transformer. Both of these circuits are high impedance.
When trying to use this technique to match a speaker, I'm bothered by the fact that I'm trying to match a tube output impedance (high) to a speaker that is only a few ohms. I would think that there would be a large loss in receiver volumn using this technique because the low speaker impedance would be reflected back to the output tube. I have to try this technique because I may be missing something.
