This was actually a popular approach during the pre-WWII era. So popular that UTC and Thordarson (and probably all the transformer manufacturers) made driver transformers that would match the low ohms output of the PA amp. But I have only seen these in sizes for lower wattages. The biggest one I have seen was for 60 watts. Maybe there are larger ones out there? Good luck. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT
