16-ohm driver question


I'm using phy-hp 16-ohm coaxial drivers, driven by Wavac EC300B. The amp is set to 8-ohm, but I'm told that it can be rewired for 16-ohm operation. I'm enjoying this combo, but wonder if I'm missing something that would justify rewiring the amp for 16-ohm.

Yes. If your amp was set up for 16 ohms, the output transformer would have less distortion. That translates to greater transparency and smoother sound. You will also get a little more power.
