In the First Watt product literature one can see that the Sit 1/2 produce more wattage into an 8 ohm loudspeaker impedance than into a 4. Likewise, it is the opposite for the Sit 3, which produces less. So would this trend apply for, say a 16 ohm impedance?
ln his review of the Sit3 in Stereophile, HR, mentions that the Sit3 did not work well into 16 ohm loads, specifically with the Falcon Ls3/5a and a Druid loudspeaker.
Any clarification is welcome.

well , those are sissy speakers 
Sit 3 ( or , to be precise - my DEFiSIT) is singing beautifully with my 16R speakers
and I even didn't bother to try 16R dummy in parallel
only catch is that my speakers are rare as Dodo - RCA LC1B

The SIT-3 measures fine into higher impedance loads, but the load-line
characteristic has been set up ideally for 4 to 8 ohms. If you have a
high impedance load, you just put some resistance in parallel with it to
bring it down if you like.
This is not the same phenomenon as the SIT-1 or 2, as they have the
device operated as single-ended Common Source mode. The SIT-3 is
push-pull Common Drain.
