Eddy, the transformers were made tor tube type amplifiers where the output was
several thousand ohms and transforming was needed. Some audiophiles still use
tube amplifiers for mellow sounds from music, but the transistor output stages
match either 4 or 8 ohm speakers directly and are fine for communications audio
or ordinary tone deaf listeners for music. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke,

Not necessary because today's audio amplifier designs do not require
matched impedances. You are "good to go" with no further matching.
