Yes, I forgot about these. I'm interested in trying a few approaches, may try the light bulb. I have a reactive load I built for another purpose which I think I'll integrate into the attenuator... reactive load sounds much much better than a plain resitive load with the amp. We used to wire a 12v auto lamp in series inside our PA speakers to prevent a coil failure incase of amplifier rage :)
