[QUOTE="ThomasH, post: 867672, member: 17206"] You generally will not do damage when connecting a higher load impedance to the output transformer than selected (ie 8 or 16 ohm speakers when 4 ohm is selected on output transformer, 16 ohms when 8 ohms is selected). There is more of a concern when connecting lower impedance speakers than selected on the output transformer (ie 8 ohm speakers when 16 ohms is selected, 4 ohm speakers when 8 or 16 ohms is selected). The impedance selection determines what output impedance is presented by the speakers through the transformer to the output stages of the valve. [/QUOTE]
