Leslie biamp

[Trevor]

Hi,
Can anyone help here? I want to bi-amp my Leslie 122A. It is one of
the new ones: 40 watt tube amp, 16 ohm 2-Way Leslie Crossover, 12 dB
per octave; 800 Hz, 100 watt ferro-fluid horn driver and 16 Ohm 100
watt woofer. I would like to get all 40 watts to the horn driver. I'll
be powering the woofer through both a separate crossover and tube amp.
My question is as follows: I thought about placing a 16 Ohm 25 Watt
Power resistor as a surrogate load substitute in place of the original
16 Ohm woofer, However, I do not know what a purely resistive load to
the original Leslie crossover will make the HF Driver sound like…how
smooth or shrill it may become. However, I'm concerned that the
amplifier will see a different load due to the change from a reactive
load (original woofer) to a crossover loaded half reactive and half
resistive. Any suggestions as to what to what I should use as a
surrogate load in place of the woofer and still maintain the status
quo would be much appreciated. Thank-you.
Sincerely,
Trevor
