The 8.2ohm is so low compared to everything else in this circuit that the speaker, series capacitor and 8.2ohm resistor are essentially a voltage source from the rest of the circuit's point of view. If there was a resistor in series with the speaker and the emitter, it would provide some negative feedback, but this one is in parallel with the speaker (for AC analisys). ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
