I want to point out, that the difference in sound would be audible, maybe even euphonic, but if you want a tone control for heaven’s sake get a tone control. Far cheaper and probably better sounding.

@deludedaudiophile - As you increase the amplifier's effective output impedance the effective frequency response of the speaker would track the impedance curve. |
Your speaker’s output would deviate and track the impedance of the speaker instead of the original frequency response. It would be a lot like using a tube amp. While you can experiment with this, please keep the wattage of any resistors in mind. I’d stick to 10W or higher for low - mid level experimentation. I also want to point out that speakers with high resistance also heat up. Attempting to use undersized speaker cable, like 18 gauge or thinner, with large amps can be a fire hazard. |
