TDA7269A RL output RL inductor after Zobel, or not...

I plan to design active speaker amps with TDA7269A (single ended), these use zobel R+C at the output for stability reasons as per datasheet. But I was thinking to maybe also include RL output inductor in series to the speaker after zobel as it is often common. Appliance is a regular home use. Datasheet do not mention this and so I wonder whether this would add or even subtract to/from stability, or be just completely unnecessary. AI had a good point that internal IC compensation could take this into account(no RL) and I could only worsen things by adding it, though I often read on internet that this is often just to appear more attractive and RL should be always added etc. I know for example that STA540 specifically mention and explain why even regular RC isnt needed but here I dont know. If someone especially from design department or someone who know for sure would be able to answer, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Hi,

The RL is useful, if speaker with strong capacitive behavior, like electrostatic speaker, are connected.

It limits the effect of the capacitive load.

So if you don't do this, also not using high capacity cables on the output, it's not needed.
