16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp

I just bought Fertin EX20. These are 8 inch field coild drivers that I'll be using in an open-baffle. I'm also looking to buy an amp, but most tube amps are 8 or 4 ohms output. Since they are 16 ohms, could I be using amps with 8 ohms. Will I be losing something? thanks.

Not sure how many watts you need but the Eastern Electric MiniMax amp has 4,8, and 16 ohm taps, The M20 integrated amp also has 8 & 16 ohm taps.

The Hyperion HT-88 (18 watt KT-88 SEP) also have 16 ohms tap. See the 6moons review.

I bought these thinking that the Fertin 20ex would be an easy load since they are 100db and 16ohms. I thought of getting a 300b or 2a3 but now I think my choice is quite limited.
