Hello,> First, it has a very low intrinsic output impedance.
Yes, relative to an 8 ohm speaker load, an emitter follower
built with some beefy transistors could make 8 ohms seem like
a light load. That means it doesn't have to "put out" all that
much. Seeing that light loading causes harmonics to go way down
in an emitter follower, I can see that this would give an emitter
follower a chance to perform well.What bugs me though is this inherent problem that the load is
part of the feedback loop. I'm kind of wondering into uncharted
territory when I start thinking about frequencies where feedback
isn't exactly 180 degrees and the effect this has. Any thoughts
or references along these lines would be welcome. One general
question is: What effect does feedback have when it isn't
exactly 180 degrees?Mike
