16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp

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.

William7 is a dealer for Eastern Electric. He failed to disclose this in his post. Thank you.

Sorry, for not disclosing I was the distributor. I should have.

Check out the new Bottlehead Paramount kits (4/8/16 ohm taps) available in both 2A3/300B format.

Less expensive would be the Paramour (2A3) kits with the "iron upgrade". The upgrade iron may be be available (again) in a month, or two.

Imagine many manufacturers/models offer 8-16 ohm versatility.

As far as running 16 ohm drivers off 8 ohm taps I've found the sound to be cleaner (lighter/tighter LF's which highlight the HF's) when compared to the 16 ohm taps on one of my tube amps.

Can't say either way is right as my choice depends upon the specific driver/cabinet being used.

I've gone through more than a dozen different vintage single and coaxial drivers in the past three years.

Cabinet/baffle material & construction will probably alter the sound @ least as much as impedance matching (between 8 & 16 ohms).

Want fuller/looser bass then use less rigid baffle material (just an example).
