I definitely consider my current level of knowledge and understanding to be pretty poor, and I'm sure being humble in the presence of my electronic betters is no bad thing :) Thanks for your additional words, I have read them, and a surprising proportion of them actually feel like they might eventually almost make sense, when I've read them a few more times and worked through them slowly :) | |

It seems daft that something as elementary as a transformer should exhibit electrical properties I don't really fully get all the implications of, but there you go - it's one thing to use a thing or even build a thing, and another to understand it. | |
| Dec 29, 2015 at 17:56 | comment | added | Michael | I probably should have said less pre question. I was trying to set the scene and broadly sketch the level of my understanding as it stood to do my best to elicit an answer that was appropriate for me... As I understand it though, any driver and load would achieve max power transfer when impedance matched, but where the driver has lower impedance vs load this will actually be more efficient, and in the case of amplifiers the ratio doesn't matter as long as the amp max volume used with speakers of specified impedance doesn't overload the amp! Such is my current understanding anyway... | |
