16 ohm for vintage hiwatt???

As for the following sentence, the fact that people have been doing it for ages and still are, doesn't make it any more easier for the amp. Makes techs and tube suppliers happy though.
While that's definitely true if you go higher than the OT, the word I get from most techs on here that going lower than the OT is way less harmful as long as there's some sort of load on it and you don't make it go into infinite ohms.
