Dummy speaker load

Hi,
What do you folks use for a speaker dummy load when bench testing an amp?
Or do you have a dedicated test speaker setup?

I use a dual 100 watt 8-ohm load box I bought from MCM Electronics (Tenma brand) a few years ago. They are on close-out for $45 now.
Here is the link:Tenma Audio Load
It is essentially a metal cabinet with cooling holes and two sets of binding posts (non-standard 1 inch spaced unfortunately) on the front panel. The resistors are 8-ohm wirewound 100 watt ceramic beasts that can be used as a 100 watt stereo 8-ohm load or your can create a 200 watt 4-ohm load or a 100 watt 16 ohm load by connecting the binding posts in parallel or series.
Since the resistors are spiral wound you will get some inductance (which is a little more like a loudspeaker coil) but this is an essentially non-inductive test load.
