Introducing the QA451

I noticed at AP has an accessory called a “power cube” that allows you to test more than just a resistive load by adding capacitance and/ or inductance to the resistive load. I got to thinking that what might be more useful would be to actually have the impedance of a real life speaker approximated by some RLC networks. Realizing that the RLC networks and associated switches would need to handle at least 200w, and having not done any reverse engineering to create a network from an impedance plot (ChatGPT?), it may not be very practical, but it would be neat to show someone how their amp should do with their particular speaker. I would be more than happy to provide several measured speaker impedances, including the “amp killer” AR9. :grinning:
