I assume the answer is yes, but I'd just like to check the experts.
I ask in light of my recent realization that OTs don't really have fixed primary impedances or secondary load handling capabilities, but rather a primary:secondary turns ratio by which the load on the secondary determines the primary impedance. And yet manufacturers spec their OTs by fixed primary:secondary numbers - e.g., 5K:8ohm. So I figure this is either (a) for the convenience of potential buyers, most of whom presumably will be looking for standard primary impedances matched for the usual 4/8/16 ohm speaker loads; or (b) because the OT has been "tuned" for best performance (e.g., frequency response) when used in the spec'd setup. Are OTs "tuned" for their spec'd primary:secondary setup?
many thanks, Derek
