So I have a class AB push-pull 6v6 amp and the load impedence is 6.6k at 8 ohms. I want to try 6K6GT's for output tubes so I used a 5U4GB to lower the voltage but I believe the 6K6GT's want to see something like 12000 load resistance. My question is can I us a 16 ohm speaker on the 8 ohm tap to raise my effective load resistance?
I found some literature on the OPT and I think the turns ratio is 50:1, just got to remember how to put that info to use.
That does not seem to be correct: 50:1 is 20k to 8 ohms.

Yeah your right, 50x50=2500
2500x8=20,000
