Default Silly Question: Can an 8 Ohm Speaker on a 16 Ohm Output of a TubeAmp, Blow out the Main Fuse?

This is on an Ampeg VT-60 amp. Here is the schematic:

It was the main AC fuse F1, a 2.5 Amp Slow-Blow fuse, that was blown open.

Then I noticed the single 12" 8 Ohm speaker, was incorrectly hooked
up to the 16 Ohm output. Was this possibly the cause of the blown
fuse?

** Wot an idiotic question.

Do some investigations FFS.
