Hi,

can the OPTīs from a tube amp be damaged if:
I use the 16 ohms tap and connect 4 ohm speakers?


The tubes could be damaged, or at least one can expect a limited life
span.

and I use the 4 ohms tap and connect 16 ohm speakers?


That could work, but will cost you some power.
A pentode amp will show more distortion, a triode amp less.
