There is also the speaker efficiency to think about. The 8K tranny would improve the power transfer and might make a bit of a diff. If you get a new speaker with 3 db more effieciency (alnico forexample), you get the same db increase as adding one more speaker of the kind you currently have or even doubling the power.
I'd go thesepaker way first. There is also a 2X10 Alnico option which might work out.
Hmmm... So you think I could eke out a few extra watts with the 18w transformer? I used TDS transformers, which are Matchless replacements (they say they designed/manufactured the originals), and rated for 15w. If the Heyboer would give me more power, it would be worth a try. Of course, then there's the whole matter of mating it to an existing chassis...
My 1x12 combo cabinet has a BBQ Blue Dog Alnico, which sounds fabulous, so maybe a 2x12 combo cabinet would do the trick for me. *oh, my aching back* Guess that's why we invented casters, eh?
I've never really cared for the sound of 10's, so that is not an avenue I will pursue.
