I'm thinking of swapping out my Mark 4 output transformer for a transformer that also has a 16 Ohm speaker out tap. I hate using impedance mismatches as the amp gets duller and muddy. I'm not bothered about resale value as I will be keeping this amp until the day it dies. I make no compromises on tone or when it comes to amp modding / customisation.

All I want to know, is theoretically, could I whack a completely different output transformer in here such as a marshall plexi style transformer etc. without frying the amp ? The only thing that concerns me is the fact the amp is 6L6 and Simul-class ... I would also be happy to have the amp fully operating in AB Pentode so if the Simul class is the only thing affecting output tranny choices (+/- 16 ohm outs) then I'll happily ditch it,
