Just got myself an old valve PA amp on evilbay, it has a pair of HUGE C-core transformers, i have no idea what they are, are they a good thing, ok thing?, bad thing?

Thanks in advance.

If I got opportunity to wire my OT on C-core transformer instead of E-core, I would select C core.

Here is a 'poor' picture of what they look like

They are really large

How that amp sounds?

C-cores differ in frequency range. In my country we differentiate C-cores between them by colors, and each color got specific frequency range. Moreover C cores got larger magnetic flux saturation.
