Warren,

To paraphrase Ole's answer, your pretty much not going to smoke it with
higher frequencies, the lower ones where the cores hits saturation at a
lower voltage is another story as fully saturated there will be no
magnetic reactance on the primary wingdings and it begins to look like a
short hence the cooked winding's.   You will only notice efficiency
drops depending on the transformer, a little or a lot.

So if you take a 60Hz to 30hz feed it half the voltage.  Probably best
to be safe not to go below 50 Hz but 400 should not be an issue aside
from poss lower efficiency.

I use torroids for some home made electrostats and it's surprising how
flat the frequency response is out of these but I have the crossed over
at no lower than 80Hz so already higher than intended use anyways.  I
have cooked a few though too.
