Default Unusual functions of cheap parts

I've seen several speakers where there was a light bulb, in series with
the tweeter, as a power limiter

I once owned a Knight transistorized amp that used incandescent bulbs in the

problem.

I remember that it was the very worst-sounding amplifier that I ever owned.
