EL34 to 6V6 impedance question.

[rockon1]

Been using my Rivera Chubster(designed for EL34's) with 6V6's. Ive read that when swapping 6L6 to 6V6 the speaker impedance should be doubled to match best. (ie: 8 ohm amp use a 16 ohm speaker) Does the same hold true with an EL34 to 6V6 swap? thanks Bob

That is roughly accurate, close enough for rock n roll.

Thanks. I swapped a 16 ohm G12K-100 into it and this amp is finally sounding "right" to me with the 6V6's Always sounded harsh,raspy with EL34's. Tried some 6L6's too and liked them a lot. Now the 6V6's give me a tad less volume. Bob
