20/20 cabinet and ohm question...

[stugatzo]

Hi...newbie here.
Can anyone advise me if there's a way to run two 16 ohm cabinets off the 20/20?
Thanks,

Plug them in the 8 ohms output. It's a mismatch but it's ok.

thanks, Crane!
i just re-read the owner's manual and realize I can do it that way.
Is there a noticeable alteration in tone or power loss when doing the mis-matched way over using two 8 ohm loads?

Probably a bit of power loss, but I bet you won't notice it.
But never do it the other way : plug a lower ohms cab in a higher ohms output. This will harm power tubes and/or output transformer.
