QA403 - load options?

1

Hi

I’m looking to get a a QA403 to test my collection of amplifiers ( and maybe for more as a test rig for local enthusiasts going forward ) - I have a question about options for loading the amps - obvious choice is the load offered by QA but are there other more cost friendly options for the one off test case - like my 250Q speakers ?
It seems I can get dummy loads from digikey as an alternative but not too familiar how they’d look ( resistive / complex ? ) and if it’s a more realistic test to pair with speakers vs a dummy load

Testing with your speakers would get pretty loud and you may damage them in the process. I would do a search in these forums as several loads (resistive) have been presented, and of course there is the QA451 load. If you can’t find the load solutions in these forums I can post what I did.

Ok… QA451 seems currently unavailable?
