In a particular embodiment, an audio amplifier drives a load in the form of a sound producing loud speaker exhibiting a frequency variable impedance characteristic over a range of audio frequencies. Voltage and current feedback circuits respectively establish a minimum voltage feedback and a feedback characteristic representative of the load. A presence feedback circuit couples the voltage feedback circuit to ground for reducing feedback with increasing frequency above a selected level whereby the damping factor of the amplifier is reduced. A resonance feedback circuit coupled in parallel with the voltage feedback circuit reduces voltage feedback with decreasing frequencies below the selected level whereby the damping factor is accordingly reduced. The amplifier is responsive to the reduced damping factor for increasing power to the load for enhancing the sound produced by the loud speaker.
