Why does one even  worry about non-inductive load resistors when testing 
audio amps?  Isn't  the voice coil of a speaker a pretty good inductor?

I'm willing to  wager  a couple of big pin receiving tubes, NOS if I have 
them, that the VC  inductance plus the speaker wire inductance provide a 
reactance close to the DC  resistance of the speaker for any reasonable 
frequency, speaker power level and  wire length.  Or to put it another way, any wire 
wound power resistor is as  good as the speaker it replaces.  Any  takers?

I cant resist the discussion, and fear not the recoil. 
 
I am willing to discuss this with frequency.
