First Watt: current vs voltage

Good discussion.
I've seen a particular modder design series crossovers for Magnepan panels.
Makes me wonder if this would be the way to go with higher powered tube gear, like the ARC stuff, which I sometimes seen mentioned as playing well with Maggies.
The old / original crossover for the MMG (maybe the SMG) was a series crossover.

What about just putting a couple ohms in series with my amps outputs? Would that work? Carver did it a couple years ago......

What Carver did was supposed to make the amp sound like a current source but it didn't actually make it one if I remember correctly. I don't believe adding resistance will do anything except possibly change your crossover and burn up more power driving the resistors.

I guess I was misled by the 405 output pattern, which was, according to a test in HIFI Choice no. 14: 115/90/32 on right channel and 115/81/28 on the left at one Kz at one percent distortion for 8/4/2 ohms. The Sansui 919 in the same issue did 145/217/288 and 164/210/264. The 8 ohm power is fairly close but the pattern is quite different. They commented " Steady state drive into low impedences was very well maintained, and on toneburst approched the theoretical 'voltage source' ideal. Since the 405 was so different I assumed it was not a voltage source amp.

  The First Watt amps are great. I have tried most of the F models, with the current source models (especially the F2J) and the F3 being my faves. But of course this is with my speakers and my listening preferences...

Hello, may i ask which preamp you've been using with F2J ?
Are you familiar with Pass Aleph series?
