Power Attenuator for Tube Amps

The 16 ohm resistors are 100w, the 8 Ohm resistor is your speaker.
The two potentiometers  are one unit, you can buy it as a Lpad attenuator, from Monacor, type At-52
It works very well with my 50 w tube amp. The power resistors get very hot, make sure to have them mounted to a heat sink.
